Manufacturing (Production)
Goal
Produce finished goods from component recipes: define work centers and routings, version bills of materials (BOMs), then release work orders that issue materials to WIP and receive output into stock.
Who it is for
Production planner / shop-floor clerk with manufacturing.view (browse), manufacturing.manage (masters + WO create/release/cancel), manufacturing.produce (issue materials, apply operations, complete), manufacturing.plan (material planning), or manufacturing.admin (Manufacturing setup).
Module and navigation
- Tenant module key: manufacturing (optional entitlement).
- Main nav section label: Production (not “Manufacturing”).
- Screens: Bills of materials, Work orders, Work centers, Routings, Material planning.
- Manufacturing setup (policies and catalogs) lives under Tax & Statutory in the nav tree; permission
manufacturing.admin.
Typical flow
- Create work centers (labor / overhead rates).
- Build routings (operation sequence + times).
- Create a BOM for the produced item (components, scrap %, optional routing) → Activate.
- Create a work order (active BOM + warehouse + qty) → Release → Issue all / apply operations → Complete (finished goods receipt + variance).
