Basic Production Process

At the end of this topic, you will be able to add a Production Order and complete a basic production process.

Here are some key points about the production process:

1. The Production Order is based on the Bill of Materials.
2. A Production Order is in a planning state until its status changes to Released.  When the production order is released to the shop floor, components (items and resources) can be issued to production and work can begin.
3. Components are issued when Issue for Production document is added.
4. Components can be issued using either the Manual or the Backflush method.
5. With the Backflush method, once a Receipt from Production is created, the items are automatically issued for production.
6. The manual issue method allows you to issue the components precisely when they are required in the production process and also issue a partial quantity, even before reporting completion.
7. When you report completion, the system automatically receives the finished product in inventory and issues backflushed components.
