Work Order Production

Production is the closing step: finished goods come off the floor and into an inventory location. It is the point where the stock record catches up with reality — raw materials are consumed, the made item appears, and it carries the cost of everything issued and charged to the order.

Where to find it

Go to Manufacturing > Productions, or open a production from a work order.

What it records

Field	Description
Date	When the goods were finished.
Type	Assembly — components become a finished item. Unassembly — a finished item is broken back into components.
Reference	The production document's reference.
Quantity	How many units were produced.
Exp Date	Expiry, for batch-tracked items.
Memo	Notes on the run.

Action buttons

Button	What it does
Produce Finished Items	Records the production and brings the goods into stock.
Process And Close Order	Records the production and closes the work order in one step.
Return Items to Work Order	Sends material back to the order where too much was drawn.
Draft	Saves without moving stock.
View This workorder	Opens the parent order.

Use Process And Close Order only on the final run. Once closed, a work order takes no further issues, costs or production — and a partially completed order closed by accident cannot be reopened.

What happens to your stock and books

Raw materials issued to the order are consumed.
The finished item enters the chosen inventory location.
Its cost is built from the components issued plus the labour and overhead charged.
The item's average cost is updated with the new stock.

Following the trail

Each production links to the transactions around it — the work order, the issues that fed it, the costs charged against it — so you can move from a finished item back to exactly what it was made from.
