Production Entry (MCE240)

This program allows you to enter production tickets for formulas along with finished item information.

The Production Entry screen consists of two sections. The upper portion of the screen is called the header portion where the formula number, quantity to be produced, etc. are entered. The lower portion is called the line-item portion where the finished items, number of units required, etc. are entered.

The user has the option of changing, adding to, removing line-items from or deleting the production ticket at any time. Deleted production ticket numbers may be reused.

A number of additional features are available in the Production Entry program:

A formula search may be performed.

Ingredients for the formula may be displayed.

A finished item search may be performed.

Packaging items for the finished item may be displayed.

Memo lines may be entered.

A memo may be entered for each finished item.

Existing production planning for formulas may be displayed.

Production tickets are available for printing using the Production Ticket Print. Production tickets may later be confirmed and a register may be run to update on-hand quantities.
