I would like to suggest another tab for Production/Manufacturing, let’s call it Production Runs tab which will have same function and purpose as the current Production Orders tab. And another one Production Order which should act like Sales/Purchase Order tab and the BOM should flow to Qty reserved …

[image] Abeiku: Regarding the number of tabs, @eko , this should not be a concern. My concern is not how many tabs one operates, it is with the fact that each Tab represents a distinct functionality that needs to be supported. There are hundreds of unimplemented ideas, some bugs have now staye…

I understand. However, some feature requests have been fortunate in that they were easy to implement, while others will be addressed in the future after certain cleanups are completed. It’s hard to predict which ones Lubos will be able to implement quickly.

I don’t understand this feature request. Can you give some example of real world scenario what is happening and why it’s not possible to capture it in Manager using existing tabs? One issue that I agree with is that production order in Manager is currently instantaneous. That means raw materials a…

[image] lubos: One issue that I agree with is that production order in Manager is currently instantaneous. While @shahabb did not mention this, after the answer to my question was given, I came to believe this was actually the original issue. The request for a new tab and/or form seems to hav…

[image] lubos: I don’t understand this feature request. He is requesting an additional tab to manage actual production. He suggested repurposing the current Production Order tab to serve as a space for entering production requests, allowing it to track the fulfillment of actual production, si…

[image] lubos: Can you give some example of real world scenario what is happening and why it’s not possible to capture it in Manager using existing tabs? Lets say there is an Item which is Purchased and sold only. Inventory Tab makes it easy to know how much quantity i am going to receive a…

Even if separate tab is not the way to go, i would suggest a report where we can select an item and enter qty that is needed to be produced then all the BOM items associated to it could be tracked from there. From there we can see what we need to order and how much to maintain our inventory level.

[image] shahabb: Now i cant purchase this item so instead of Purchase Order i have to create a production order which will update the Qty to order column for all the items that will be used in the actual production which might take place later. Brilliant

OK, it seems like the issue is that production order immediately consumes all the raw materials but in reality, if production takes multiple days (or even longer), raw materials are consumed in steps. Not all at once. If raw materials are consumed all at once, then Qty on hand is not really accurate…

[image] lubos: So production order should not remove raw materials from Qty on hand, it should merely just remove them from Qty available (raw materials are still on hand but reserved for consumption). Then actual consumption when producting the finished item would be handled by different trans…

OK, then we just need to have Start Date and End Date on production order.
