Manufacturing flow

-
From the validation of a sales order to the realization
of the production

This flow requires the installation of Sales/Stocks/Manufacturing/Supply Chain modules.

The "Production Order Management" option must be activated from the "Manufacturing"
application options (in Application config/Apps management).

1- Creation and validation of a sale order

We will start by creating an order of a product requiring a sale supply default method by
production (see quick start "Sales flow" for more details on the creation of order).

You can create an order from the Sales module, sale quotation or sales order menu entries.

Choose the customer, and add quotation/order lines. For the realization of this flow, it is
necessary that the product has as “Produce” sale supply default method.

You can check and configure this by going to a product form (Sales/Products & Services) in
the "Stock" tab. The method of supply must be set to "Produce". This means that if for a sale
order there are not enough products in stock, it must be produced.
In the "Stock" tab, the procurement method can also be set to "Produce". This method is
linked to the minimum stock rules and indicates how the product stocks are provisioned. You
can also view the current quantity of stock and future quantities.

Once in the sales order line, when you have selected the product, you can check in the
"Settings" tab that the procurement mode is "Produce".

The associated bill of material appears below.

You must then finalize the order and confirm it with the buttons at the top right.
2- Running a needs calculation

Following one or more sale orders, you can start a requirement calculation from the Stocks
application, MRP/Calculation menu entry. Click + to create a new one.

The needs calculation will allow you to know if, relative to current stocks and sales forecasts,
you need to order and/or produce certain products/components.

You must first choose the location on which the needs calculation will be performed, and
possibly an end date.

Then you must choose on which elements to start the calculation of the needs (products,
categories of products, families of product, forecasts ...).
For this example we will include the product of our order line.

Then click on the button "Run calculation" which is in the taskbar.

Once the calculation is launched, you have access to the results.


If you do not have enough stock, the system generates manufacturing order proposals that
you can view by double clicking on them, and choose to validate or not. The manufacturing
needs/proposals concerns the elements to be produced to constitute the main product.

You can validate the proposals one by one by double clicking on each proposal, or validate all
at once by clicking on the "Generate all proposals" button in the taskbar.

For a manufacturing order to be proposed by the requirement calculation, the stock rules
must be configured correctly (for more information, please consult the documentation).

You can add new stock rules and view the existing ones in Stocks/Configurations/Stock
Rules.

Therefore, the replenishment mode must be set to "Manufacturing Order", and a minimum
quantity must be set to trigger the production proposal.
3- Generation of a manufacturing order

As we have seen, you can directly generate a manufacturing order from the requirements
calculation.

Une autre méthode est de se rendre directement dans la commande que nous avons
précédemment confirmée. Vous pouvez la retrouver dans le module Ventes, entrée de menu
Commandes clients.

Cliquez alors sur « Générer ordre de production ».


Another method is to go directly to the sale order that we previously confirmed. You can find
it in the Sales module, in the “Sale Orders” menu entry.

Then click on "Generate production order".


A production order groups one or more manufacturing orders. Unlike the manufacturing
order, the production order can be attached to a project.

By double clicking on the manufacturing order, you have access to more information :
- The different manufacturing operations,
- The planned dates,
- The stock movements,
- The products consumed,
- The Finished products.
4- Realization of the stock movements towards the production

Stock movements associated to the manufacturing order have been automatically


generated. You can find them in the Stocks application, menu entry “Forecasts/Production
needs”.

You can also access the stock movements associated with a manufacturing order directly
from it, in the "Stock moves" tab.

The stock moves are realized when the production starts. If the "Manage consumed
products on operations" box is checked, or if the consumption per operation is activated on
the production process, all the products necessary for the production will not be sent at the
same time to the production. They will be sent to production at the beginning of each
operation according to the needs.
5- Realization of the production

To start the production, go to the manufacturing (or production) order in the


Manufacturing/ Manufacturing Orders menu.

The manufacturing order lists the different manufacturing operations, which have been
defined by the product production process (refer to the documentation for more
information).
Note that you can invoice this manufacturing order if necessary, in the context of business
project management in particular. The manufacturing order should be linked to production
order, which will be attached to a business project.

Click on the "Start" button when production starts. You can pause it at any time.
You can also start manufacturing operations one by one by clicking on the pictogram of the
arrow.

Click on "Finish" to end the production. The manufacturing order will be finished
automatically if every manufacturing operations are marked as done.

You then have access to a summary of the products actually consumed ("Consumed
products" tab.), and the system will indicate if there is any difference between the quantity
of products to consume and the quantity of consumed products.
An output stock movement is also automatically performed, from production to the main
warehouse ("Stock Moves" tab).

You can view it by clicking on it.


By clicking on the product name, you have access to the updated stock level of the product.
