How do I get started?

Click Get started, then use Proto to configure Batch Manufacturing for your business. Start with a familiar product, an identified production resource and material lots the team can reconcile. Rehearse a work order through material issue, production recording and accepted-output release before expanding.

What does a work order release do?

Planner releases eligible Draft work after the order lifecycle check. The work order becomes Released, and its product, planned quantity and material requirements are frozen. Review that basis before preparing material issues or recording production.

How are material lots connected to a batch?

A material issue records the item, lot and quantity withdrawn for the work order. Batch inputs then record the material, source lot, issued quantity and unit against the selected batch. Quality Reviewer can compare the batch evidence with its work order’s posted issues.

What happens if a material posting is retried?

The posting action validates the Draft issue, reduces the exact item and lot balance once and marks the issue Posted. A repeated request must not withdraw that material again. Include an interrupted response and retry in the operating rehearsal.

How is production yield calculated?

Production yield is good units divided by good plus scrap units from the production logs. A run with 96 good and 4 scrap units shows 96 out of 100, or 96 percent. A zero denominator has no percentage. Keep batch output totals separate when comparing results.

How do we record rework?

Batch output keeps rework quantity alongside good and scrap quantities for the selected batch and output item. Review the separated amounts with Quality Reviewer before planning the next action. Accepted inventory release uses eligible good terminal output.

Who decides whether output can be released?

Quality Reviewer inspects the batch evidence and approves eligible accepted output. The action checks that the good terminal output has not already been received, receipts finished inventory once, marks the batch Released and completes the work order.

What does Production Logs and Details show?

The page filters production logs by work order and operator. It shows a daily Recorded entries trend by creation date and production yield with its numerator and denominator. Selecting a log reveals related material issues and inventory balances for investigation.

How do resource dates help planning?

Work orders carry planned start and end dates and a resource reference. Resources record daily capacity in minutes and an Available, Maintenance or Unavailable status. Planner uses that information with Operator to agree the production window before release.
