Overview

  

Requirements and Limitations

The Production functionality in Business Central requires Premium user licenses. System Requirements.

 

Production Orders

Production orders are used to manage the conversion of purchased materials into manufactured items, and contain - among other things - the following information:

  • Materials required for the planned and released production orders

  • Products that have just been manufactured

  • Materials that have already been selected

  • Work/Machine center on the shop floor, needed for manufacturing


Supported Setups

  • Production orders may route work through work/machine centers

  • Pure conversion of materials, without resources involved

 

Note: "Assemble to Stock / Assemble to Order" is not part of the Production functionality.

Mobile: Prod. Order Lines filter

The list of production order lines may include lines from production orders not yet started, orders in progress, and even fully produced orders.

Only Finished Production Orders is removed from the list, otherwise, you may continue to register additional consumption and output for the production order lines.

 

The filter can be opened at any time, on the order list screen, by clicking the filter icon in the top right corner

 

 

Hint: You can easily select a Line by scanning:

  • a Production Order number

  • an Item No. (output item)

 

Sorting

Lines are sorted by the "Starting Date-Time"-field.

 

Mobile: Register Consumption and Output for a Released Production order line

From Production Order Line you can access:

  • Production consumption (materials used in the production)

  • Production output (finished goods, time consumed, and scrapped goods)

  • Print Label for production output / finished goods (See below)

Print Labels

These subpages will manually post:

  • Consumption of components

  • Quantity of end items produced

  • Time spent in operations

 

 

Journals and Entries

Business Central offers different ways of achieving this:

The separate Consumption Journal, separate Output Journal or the combined Production Journal.

In Mobile WMS the execution task is performed using the combined Production Journal, meaning consumption and output is posted as from this journal:

  • The values are posted to ledger entries under the released production order

  • Consumption quantities are posted as negative item ledger entries

  • Output quantities are posted as positive ledger entries

  • Times spent are posted as capacity ledger entries.

Consumption Lines

Posting Consumption Lines is the process of spending raw materials and semi-completed components in the production process.
However, not every Production Order Line requires consumed materials to be posted manually. The Production module in Business Central offers different ways to set up lines to have materials consumed automatically.
In Mobile WMS only released lines set up for manual consumption will be displayed on the mobile device:
