Before you start

Build product definitions, establish operations and workstations, plan material requirements, release work orders and record production. Use inventory movements and quality checks to account for what was consumed and produced.

ERP links open in a new tab. Sign in with your own account; record visibility, actions and approval authority follow your assigned permissions. Screens can differ by company and configuration.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Create BOM for the finished Item and add component quantities in the correct units.
  2. Add applicable operations, workstation/routing details and scrap information. Review costing and approve the product definition.
  3. Create Production Plan or Work Order from demand using the intended active/default BOM.
  4. Record operation activity with Job Cards and material/output movements with the applicable Stock Entry documents.

Check the result

Return to the saved record or relevant list and verify the intended values, links and status. Check the role-restricted portal or report when it is part of this task. A successful save, approval, submission and external payment are different events.

Troubleshooting

A BOM is a product definition. Stock balances change through submitted stock documents, not by changing a component quantity on the BOM.

If the task is blocked, record the page name, operation, error text and time. Contact Support through an authorized channel. Remove passwords and unnecessary personal information from screenshots.
