Entering a Production Record

You can enter records to the Production register using the following methods:
  1. You can enter Productions directly to the Production register.

  2. You can create Productions in batches for Output Items whose stock levels have fallen below Minimum Levels. To do this, open the 'Productions: Browse' window and choose 'Productions' from the Create menu (Windows/macOS) or + menu (iOS/Android).

  3. You can create Productions from Production Orders, using the 'Finish Batch' Operations menu function (Tools menu function if you are using iOS or Android).

  4. The 'Create Planned Records from Ordered Items' Maintenance function in the Production and Sales Orders modules will create Productions to schedule the assembly of Output Items that you have sold in advance. To be sold in advance, the Output Item must be included in a Sales Order with a Planned Delivery Date.

  5. You can use the Sales Forecast register in the MRP module to predict the future monthly sales of Output Items. From a Sales Forecast record, you can create a Production Plan for each month, and from there you can use the 'Create Productions' Maintenance function to schedule the assembly of the Items that you expect to sell.
You can decide whether the Maintenance functions mentioned in points 4 and 5 will create Productions or Production Orders, using the Generate Planned options in the Production Settings setting.

The use of the Production register is now described in detail. To open the Production register, first ensure you are in the Production module. Then, if you are using Windows or macOS, click the [Registers] button in the Navigation Centre and double-click 'Productions' in the resulting list. If you are using iOS or Android, tap the [Registers] button in the Navigation Centre and then tap 'Productions' in the 'Registers' list. The 'Productions: Browse' window will be opened, showing the Productions that you have already entered.

The Status column is blank for Created Productions or shows "√" for Cancelled and Finished Productions and "-" for Started Productions. You can set this Status for each Production using the options in the header of the Production window.

If you are using Windows or macOS, you can sort the list by clicking on a column heading. To reverse the sort, simply click once again on the column heading. If you are using iOS or Android, tap on the column heading and choose the sort order you need. Repeat the procedure to reverse the sort.

To search for a particular record, first sort the list by the column that you want to use for the search. Then, enter a keyword in the Search field at the top of the window (in the top right-hand corner if you are using Windows/macOS) and press the Return or Enter key (macOS) or Search (iOS/Android). The first record with a match for the keyword in the current sort column will be highlighted (if you are using Windows, a match will be highlighted as you type each character).

To enter a new Production, select 'New' from the Create menu (Windows/macOS) or the + menu (iOS/Android), or use the Ctrl-N (Windows) or ⌘-N (macOS) keyboard shortcut. Alternatively, highlight a Production record similar to the one you want to enter and select 'Duplicate' from the same menu.

The 'Production: New' window will be opened, empty if you selected 'New' or containing a duplicate of the highlighted Production.

Since the amount of information stored about each Production will not fit on a single screen, the Production window has been divided into two cards. At the top of each is the header. There are two named buttons ('tabs') in the header.

By clicking the tabs you can navigate between cards. The header is always visible, as a reminder of the Production you are working with.
