Inspecting and Approving Production Operations

When you have completed the assembly process, you should check and approve the instructing Production Operation. When you approve and save it, stock levels of the components will be reduced and that of the Output Item will be increased.

Before you can approve a Production Operation, you must specify an Actual Qty in its header. This should be the number of applications of the Recipe stage that you completed.

If you have used the Time options in the Production Settings setting to choose that you will record Actual Time against Production Operations, you will record that time using Activities. Before approving a Production Operation, remember to bring these Activities into the Production Operation using the 'Add Labour' function on the same menu, to ensure the correct time is registered for the Production Operation.

After carrying out these checks, approve the Production Operation by clicking the Finished check box (assuming the Production Operation was completed successfully), or the Finished but Discarded check box (if there was a failure) and saving.

On approval, if so defined in the Sub Systems setting in the Nominal Ledger and in the Number Series - Productions and Account Usage Production settings, a cost accounting Transaction will be created in the Nominal Ledger. Please refer to the Nominal Ledger Transactions from Production Operations page for details of the Accounts used by this Transaction.

Once you have marked a Production Operation as Finished or Finished but Discarded, you will no longer be able to change it.


You must mark all Production Operations as Finished before you can Finish the parent Production itself. If you are using the Complete Sequence Before Next One option in the Production Settings setting, you must Finish the Production Operations connected to a particular Production in the correct order, as determined by the Sequence and Sub Sequence fields in the header of each Production Operation.

Usually you will mark each Production Operation as Finished individually. However, you can also open the parent Production and use the 'Backflush' Operations menu function to mark all connected Production Operations as Finished at one stroke.
