Production Examples and Work-Flow

These examples will demonstrate using a Production to assemble an Item to be held in stock. To illustrate the process, we will describe building a hifi rack from various components.

The examples assume Production I-cost, Production W-cost and Discarded Production Cost Accounts have been specified in the Account Usage Stock setting in the Stock module.

Start by recording the hifi rack in the Item register. This should be marked as a Stocked Item:

After saving the Item record, choose 'Create Recipe' from the Operations menu. A new Recipe is opened. A Recipe is a list of the components (with quantities) that are needed to produce or build the assembled Item. Components are also known as "Input Items": enter the quantity of each component required to build the assembled Item in the In field. Enter the assembled Item (also known as the "Output Item") on the last row, with the quantity that will be built in the Out field. If cost such as labour will be incurred when building the Output Item, enter this in the W-cost (Work Cost) field in one of the Input rows, as shown in the illustration below:

When you save the Recipe, the Recipe Code will be copied to the Recipe field on the 'Recipe' card of the assembled Item:

This field connects the assembled Item to its Recipe. Save the Item to confirm.
