Basics of Manufacturing Orders (Work Orders)

What is a Work Order?

A manufacturing order is a document that specifies "what," "how many," and "by when" to be manufactured. Based on the Bill of Materials (BOM), it automatically calculates the required amount of raw materials and manages progress in conjunction with job cards (process control).

This system provides a custom screen that significantly streamlines the operation of manufacturing orders.

Tasks	Recommended Screen	Explanation
Deciding what and how many to make	Production Proposal Dashboard	Automatically navigates to the optimal production volume based on demand, inventory, and equipment capacity
Material allocation, equipment allocation, and progress management	List of manufacturing orders	Bulk allocation and bulk equipment allocation for on-site readiness
Entering on-site performance data	Work entry	Record performance for each process

How to Create a Manufacturing Order

Method A: Create in bulk from the production proposal dashboard (recommended)

This is the most efficient method. Work orders with optimal quantities based on demand analysis are created in bulk.

1. Production Proposal Dashboard Open 2. Review the proposal and adjust the quantity as needed. 3. Use "🚀 Bulk Issue" to create Work Orders for multiple items at once.

Method B: Created from order

1. Open the submitted Sales Order.
2. Click "Create ▾" → "Manufacturing Order"
3. The BOM linked to the ordered items will be automatically selected.

Method C: Create a new one

1. In the search bar製造指図 type
2. Click "+ Add"
