Turn released recipes and actual assembly work into accepted finished stock.

Follow the process from start to finish. Select a step to see who acts and what changes.
Production Manager prepares the product, quantity, recipe, routing and manually feasible work window. Preserve approved demand, component units, required materials and known standard/rate bases. The person preparing or materially editing this packet cannot supply its independent release. A sales grouping alone does not create a stocked kit.
Prepare the bounded assembly jobIndependent Production Manager reviews the job, excluding its planner, preparer and material editors. Check the planned work window, materials, technical and acceptance instructions and known rates. Release freezes that basis; a later master change cannot silently replace the instructions or value of work already underway.
Independently authorize the frozen jobProduction Operator issues traced inventory into exclusive WIP and records time, throughput, scrap and held work. Transfers preserve unit scope between operations. Rework recirculates those units without creating more output. Unused returns create new stock at original issue cost; consumption never repeats the inventory issue.
Record actual material and operation workIndependent Production Manager accepts actual operation and time evidence, excluding the producer, recorder and material editors. Reconcile inputs with good, scrap, held and unfinished work. Reject overlapping time or duplicated throughput. Accepted intermediate progress remains separate from finished inventory.
Independently accept operation and time evidenceIndependent Production Manager confirms unused accepted terminal output and its actual identity, resolved acceptance conditions and attributable cost. Completion and scrap reservations reduce available WIP before another claim. Partial output leaves the remaining job quantities and costs visible.
Confirm eligible terminal output and costIndependent Finance Manager reviews allocated actual WIP against frozen standard output value before posting. A quantity decision cannot authorize an unexplained cost. Missing inputs block the completion; known zero cost still needs its reviewed basis.
Decide the required immediate varianceProduction Manager executes the fully approved completion. Finished stock receives standard value, allocated actual WIP is relieved, and the approved signed difference posts once. Repeated execution returns the same output effect. Closing later cannot charge that completion variance again.
Post output, WIP relief and variance onceIndependent Production Manager approves reconciled quantity and remaining obligations. Finance Manager additionally approves remaining cost residuals. Preserve performed work and corrections; unused claims, unfinished returns or unexplained WIP cannot disappear through closure.

Released work quantity, unique terminal output, actual material/person-hours/machine-hours, signed WIP sources, standard output and separately recognized completion/scrap/remaining-close variance. Intermediate/rework operation throughput is not finished output. Productivity includes only independently accepted complete finite intervals; disclose excluded incomplete/zero-duration observations and timezones.
An assistant cannot provide a required independent human approval, invent customer acceptance or treat an uncertain provider response as confirmed money. It cannot promise goods already held or committed to another order, receive the same finished kit twice, or release a refund without its eligible source and decision.
Carry the accepted order through shipment, invoice approval and cash application.
