How do I produce a product?

Requirements

1. Create a manufacturing order for the manufacturing product and complete it.
2. Prior to production, make sure via the material cockpit that the required manufacturing components are in stock in sufficient quantity for consumption. To replenish stocks, you can either:
   a) create a goods receipt or
   b) add new handling units via physical inventory.

Steps

1. Open “Manufacturing Order” from the menu.
2. Open the entry of a completed manufacturing order.
3. Start the action “Issue/Receipt”. An overlay window, the production window “PP Order Issue/Receipt”, opens up.

   Note: If you have selected the manufacturing order while in list view, you can also go to the quick actions button at the top right to start the action .

Record consumed manufacturing components

1. In the production window, select the BOM component (Type CO) to be allocated and deducted from stock, e.g., “Carrots unwashed”.

   

2. Start the quick action “Open HU Selection Window”.

   

3. An overview of the matching handling units (HU) from stock opens up on the right-hand side.

   

4. Select the HU that was consumed during production.

Consume entire HUs

2. When the allocation was successful, you will find the issued HU below the component.

   

   Note: If you want to undo the deduction, simply select the added HU and start the quick action “Remove HU”.

Receive the manufactured product

1. In the production window, select the manufactured product (Type MP) you want to receive, e.g., “Carrots chopped”.

   

2. Start the quick action “Receive HUs”.

   

   Note: If the product has packing instructions, these will appear on the quick actions button instead of “Receive HUs”.

3. Another overlay window opens up.

   

4. Optional: Select TU Packing Instructions.

   Note: More information about HU components such as LU, TU and CU.

5. Optional: Select LU Packing Instructions.
6. In the field CU Quantity, enter the received quantity of the product.
7. In the field TU Quantity, enter the number of transport units.

   Note 1: The field TU Quantity appears only if TU Packing Instructions are available.
   
   Note 2: The TU Quantity must be at least 1.

8. In the field LU Quantity, enter the number of loading units.

   Note 1: The field LU Quantity appears only if LU Packing Instructions are available.
   
   Note 2: The field LU Packing Instructions appears only if TU Packing Instructions are available.
   
   Note 3: The LU Quantity must be at least 1.

9. Click “Start” to record the received HUs and close the overlay window.

10. When the allocation was successful, the received HUs will be listed below the product to be manufactured:

    

    Note: If you want to undo the allocation, simply select the added HU, go to the quick actions button and click “Remove HU”.

Enter serial numbers for HUs manually (optional)

1. In the production window, select the HU for which you want to enter the serial number.
