Production Module

End-to-end manufacturing management — from master data setup (Operations, Machines, Work Centers, BOM, Routing) through Production Planning and Orders, to Material Issue, Production Entry, and Material Return with full batch and QC traceability.

Module Overview

The Production Module covers the complete manufacturing lifecycle. Master data defines how products are made — the raw materials required (BOM), the sequence of operations and work centers used (Routing), and the machines involved. Transactions control the day-to-day shop floor: planning batches, raising Production Orders, issuing raw materials, recording production output with input consumption, and returning unused materials to stock.

Recommended Setup Order

Step	Screen	Purpose
1	Operations	Define manufacturing operation codes used in Routing (e.g. Mixing, Filling, Labelling)
2	Production Line	Create production line identifiers that group Work Centers
3	Machine Master	Register machines with cost details; used in Work Center assignment
4	Work Center	Define work centers by assigning machines and employee categories to a production line
5	Bill of Material	Define the raw material inputs (child items) and batch quantity for each finished/WIP item
6	Routing	Define the step-by-step operation sequence, work centers, and output items for each BOM
7	Routing Details	Specify input materials and scrap/by-products per routing operation sequence
8	Alternate Items	Register substitute raw materials that can replace a standard BOM item when stock is unavailable

Transaction Flow

Step	Screen	Purpose
1	Production Planning	Plan production quantities by item; generates open plan quantities visible to Production Order
2	Production Order	Create a formal work order for a specific item, BOM, batch, and quantity; releases operations for execution
3	Material Issue	Issue raw materials from the warehouse to the production work center for a specific order and sequence
4	Additional Material Request	Request extra raw materials beyond the standard BOM quantity when actual consumption exceeds the plan
5	Production Entry	Record actual production output per operation, capturing consumed inputs, scrap, by-products, and employee utilisation
6	Direct Production Entry	Process a complete production cycle (issue + entry) in one step without a prior Production Order
7	Material Return	Return unused raw materials from the production floor back to the warehouse

ℹ️

BOM + Routing are PrerequisitesBoth Bill of Material and Routing must be fully configured for a finished item before a Production Order can be raised for it. The BOM defines what goes in; the Routing defines how it is made and in what sequence.

Production›Masters›QC Template

The QC Template master defines the quality control inspection framework applied at specific production operation steps. Each template specifies a set of test parameters — the measurable quality attributes (e.g. Appearance, pH, Moisture Content, Tablet Hardness) — along with their acceptable specifications. When a Routing step requires QC, the assigned QC Template determines exactly which tests must be performed and recorded before production can proceed to the next step.

Additional Material Request

Production›Transactions›Additional Material Request

The Additional Material Request (MRN) is raised when actual material consumption during production exceeds the standard BOM quantity. It formally requests additional raw materials beyond what was already issued via the standard Material Issue. The MRN references the Production Order and operation sequence, and once saved, it can be fulfilled via Material Issue using the MRN number as the reference.

QC Entry (Production)

Production›Transactions›QC Entry (Production)

QC Entry (Production) records the actual quality control test results for a batch of finished or WIP items produced at a QC-required operation step. It is triggered after a Production Entry is saved for a step where QC? is set to Yes in the Routing. The inspector enters the tested quantities, the actual results for each parameter from the assigned QC Template, and the overall QC Status (Pass/Fail). Passed batches are released to the next production step or to finished goods; rejected batches are moved to a dedicated reject location.

Batch TraceabilityThe Production Module maintains full forward and backward batch traceability. Every raw material batch issued and consumed is linked to the finished goods batch produced. This is essential for pharmaceutical manufacturing and GMP compliance — always ensure the correct Batch No is selected in Material Issue and Production Entry.
