Production and quality

Use bills of material and work orders for physical classroom or administrative packs when assembly is part of campus operations. The released pack identifies its components and instructions. Production records actual issues, loss and accepted pack output. A learner enrollment or timetable entry cannot create a work order, shipment or finished-stock quantity.

Production Planner runs MRP for a stated entity, warehouse and horizon. The run captures demand, eligible stock, remaining purchase and work-order supply, lead times and planning parameters. Every planned order stays pegged to a stable source requirement.

Approved sales lines, delivery-based contract cycles and safety-stock needs enter the appropriate planning population. When a contract cycle generates an order, that order replaces the cycle’s demand. Direct recurring service billing creates no physical demand, and firmed supply is not recreated on the next run.

The calculation nets remaining quantities rather than full original orders. Held, expired, quarantined or already-reserved stock is not treated as freely available. Missing dates, conversions or engineering inputs remain visible in MRP Exceptions for the planner and Buyer to resolve.

Production Planner firms and releases the reviewed plan. The work order receives its own snapshot rather than looking up current master values whenever it runs. An engineering change after release needs a controlled revision and assessment of work already performed.

This scope provides work-centre planning and operation coordination. Finite multi-plant optimization remains separate Manufacturing ERP scope. A planned date is not a guarantee that material or inspection constraints have been satisfied.

Components identify source warehouse, material unit and the work-order requirement. Warehouse Operator or an authorized Operator issues against the exact stock reservation. The physical issue and its WIP valuation use the captured transaction cost and consume the claim together.

Backflush is permitted only for its configured component scope and actual eligible completion. Explicit issues and backflush must not charge the same requirement twice. Returns identify the original issue, available unused quantity and original cost, including any downstream consumption constraints.

A replayed source event returns the original movement and journal identities. It does not issue another quantity, and an edited status cannot restore stock that was already consumed or shipped.

Operator records time, good quantity and scrap against the actual operation and production lot. Plant Manager assigns eligible operators, reprioritizes work and handles allowed work-centre reassignment under the released plan. Holds remain visible to the planner and the customer-facing order.

Operation counts describe work performed at that step. Finished quantity comes from eligible terminal-operation completion, not the sum of good units reported at every operation. Rework and repeated inspection do not create another population of new finished goods.

Approved timesheet allocations carry their work-order, operation and cost-centre basis into labour absorption. Production reporting and payroll reference the same approved source scope so recalculation cannot cost or pay it again.

Quality Inspector assesses the exact receipt or production scope at its required revision. Presented, accepted, rejected and unresolved quantities reconcile, with separate identities where a lot receives different dispositions.

A first-article pass authorizes the defined continuation; it does not accept the entire batch for shipment. In-process decisions release only their eligible scope. Final acceptance is required where the plan calls for it before stock becomes available to a sales order.

Rejected output remains held for rework, scrap or return disposition. Plant Manager can stop work but cannot substitute their own status edit for the inspector’s release. Reinspection links to its earlier scope so the same accepted pieces cannot be received twice.

Accepted eligible terminal output posts a bounded finished-stock receipt with its lot or serial identity and the corresponding WIP relief. Partial completion leaves the unfinished quantity and cost in WIP. Closing the work order requires its remaining material, output, quality and financial obligations to be resolved.

Production Planner reviews and authorizes close with the required Controller variance evidence. Material usage, labour efficiency, rate and overhead absorption differences have separate frozen bases. A single burdened rate cannot explain every variance without those components.

Payroll expense reconciles with absorbed labour rather than being added to WIP a second time. Posted adjustments retain signed source history and valid periods, including later corrections to approved time.

Shop Floor Schedule and My Operations Today show the current assigned work. Production Attainment uses unique eligible output against planned demand. Inventory Valuation follows the captured costing method, and opening in-flight quantities use a reviewed migration baseline without generating new production or cost effects.
