The programs on this menu allow you to produce bill of material finished items. A bill of material item is an item whose quantities are maintained in a warehouse and it is produced by using component items whose quantities are also maintained in the same warehouse. As the BOM finished item is produced, its on hand quantity is increased and the components quantities are decreased.
Bill of Materials Entry (MCE110)
The Bill of Material Entry program is used to enter the component items and number of units used to produce one finished item.
Production Planning may be used any time to enter production planned for the current or any future date. Production planning does not update any warehouse/item information.
When an item is to be produced, it is entered on a production ticket through the Production Entry program. Only one finished item (multiple units) is entered per production ticket.
Production Ticket Print (MCP110)
Use this program to print production tickets. A production ticket tells the warehouse staff how many of a finished item to produce and the component items and number of each used to produce the finished item.
Production Confirmation (MCE140)
Use this program when production is complete.
Print this program to provide an audit trail of production and to update all appropriate inventory and manufacturing files.
