Work Order Processing Work Order ProcessingThe Manufacturing module allows you to efficiently manage essential manufacturing data for your company. The module enables you to:
Track the complete manufacturing process from the issuing of materials to the final inventory adjustment of the manufactured good. During the process, manufacturing-specific general ledger accounts are updated to provide accurate accounting of work in process, inventory, and scrap amounts. For more information, see Work Order Process Flow.
Create standalone work orders, or create work orders automatically based on DRP forecasting, incoming sales orders, or minimum stock levels.
View all your vital manufacturing data, such as open work orders, real-time work in process amounts, and component inventory levels.
Optimize component inventory levels via flexible management of work order and backflush bins in your manufacturing environment.
Maintain bills of material for specific products and locations. Each bill of material can include detailed routing, component, cost, and instruction data. You can also create multi-level bills of material for goods created from manufactured components. For more information, see Bill of Material Maintenance.
Set up operations that describe each step in the manufacturing process. Each operation can include associated cost and time requirements. For more information, see Operation Maintenance.
Define work centers to divide a manufacturing location into physical areas in which operations are performed. Each work center can include cost and time requirements. For more information, see Work Center Maintenance.
Establish work center groups for manufacturing that occurs in multiple locations. Each group can include cost and time requirements. For more information, see Work Center Group Maintenance.
Manage cost categories to track labor and overhead costs, which you can associate with specific work centers, work center groups, operations, bills of material, and work orders. For more information, see Cost Category Maintenance.
Track the assembly process for phantom assemblies, fixed kits, and configuration kits comprised of multiple products.
Track outside processing of manufacturing. For more information, see Using Outside Processing for Manufacturing.
