Production Queue
This page describes the Production Queue report in the Production module.
---
The Production Queue report lists the Production Orders that are currently waiting to be produced. This means Production Orders whose Status is "Started" or "Accepted" and that have a Queue Position.
This report shows every Production Order in the queue for a Machine, while the similar Running Production Orders report only shows the Production Order currently being produced (i.e. the one with the lowest Queue Position).
When printed to screen, the Production Queue report has the Standard ERP Drill-down feature. Click (Windows/macOS) or tap (iOS/Android) on any Production Order Number to open an individual Production Order record. For example, if you need to move a Production Order to a different position in the queue, you can open it by drilling down and then choose 'Move in Queue' from the Operations menu (Windows/macOS) or Tools menu (iOS/Android). If you need to begin or continue work on a Production Order, open it and choose 'Finish Batch' from the Operations or Tools menu.
