Operations Menu - Create Productions

This function creates Production records by comparing stock levels with minimum stock quantities for each Stocked Item that has a Recipe. The Production records will be saved in an unapproved state. You can print the Production records in a single batch, using the [Documents] button in the Master Control panel or the Ctrl-D/⌘-D keyboard shortcut.

In comparing stock levels with the Minimum Level (shown on the 'Stock' card of the Item), unfulfilled Sales Orders and unapproved Production records are taken into account. So, for example, a new Production record will not be created for a Stocked Item with a Minimum Level of 1 if there is already an unapproved Production record.

Since the Production records created by this function are unapproved, no account is taken of the stock levels of the components or of any Serial Number requirements. The Quantity in each Production record is taken from the Normal Prod Qty of the corresponding Recipe: it is not determined by the stock shortfall.

Selecting 'Create Productions' opens the following dialogue box:

Item No.

Range Reporting    Alpha

Press the [Run] button to start the generation of Production records. When the process is finished, the new records will be available for viewing, modifying and approval in the Production register.
