Register production, complete and close an order

Receive finished goods into stock, finish the order, and close it so the remaining cost is settled.

Before you begin

• The order is Released or In Progress, with material issued and operations done.
• Register Production needs manufacturing.production.register, Complete Production needs manufacturing.complete, and Close and Short-close need manufacturing.close. A supervisor often has the first two but not the third.

Steps

Register production

1. Open the order and click Register Production.
2. Enter Good Qty. The default is what is left (quantity minus produced minus scrapped). Serial products take whole units.
3. Enter Rejected Qty if any.
4. Tick Send rejected to rework to raise a rework request for the rejected quantity.
5. Enter Lot / Batch. For a lot-tracked product, empty uses the MO number.
6. Choose an Operator and add a Note if useful, then save.

You can register in parts. Completing the last work order on the Shop Floor does the same automatically.

Complete production

1. Click Complete Production.
2. A dialog Before completing lists blockers, for example '6 still to produce - register the production, or short-close the order.', a paused work order, or a pending quality check. Fix them; there is no override for blockers.
3. If only warnings remain, such as 'LG-01: 35 issued of 40 needed for what was made.', click Complete anyway.

Short-close (if you will not make the full quantity)

1. Click More > Short-close.
2. Enter Why it closes short, for example "Customer reduced the order to 8".
3. Confirm. Open work orders are cancelled.

Close

1. Click Close.

What happens next

• Receipt. Each registration creates a receipt (PR-) into the warehouse at the cost carried by the order. Backflush components are issued first. For a partial receipt the unit cost is the lower of WIP divided by the order quantity and the estimated unit cost. The last receipt takes all remaining WIP, to the cent.
• Completed. Leftover reservations are released and untouched work orders are marked Completed.
• Closed. WIP is settled into variances (see Costing, WIP and variances). The order is read-only afterwards.

Worked example, 10 tables. WIP after issues is 1,800.00. Cutting adds 206.25. Registering 4 good backflushes 64 screws (AED 16.00), so WIP is 2,022.25 and the receipt is 4 x 202.225 = AED 808.90. Assembly adds 148.50, the last 96 screws add 24.00, and the final receipt of 6 takes the remaining 1,385.85. Finished goods total AED 2,194.75 and WIP is 0.00.

Good to know

• Registering more than is left: 'Only 4 is left to produce on this order.' Registering nothing: 'Enter the good or the rejected quantity.'
• 'No finished goods have been received.' and '<code> is tracked - the finished goods need a lot.' block completion.
• Close is refused while a non-conformance report is open ('1 non-conformance report(s) are still open on this order.') or a scrap record waits for approval ('A scrap record is waiting for approval.').
• If WIP remains at close, for example AED 50.00 of material issued after the last receipt, a variance row clears it.
• Short-close only works on Released or In Progress orders with output below plan: 'Say why the order closes short.' if you leave the reason empty.
• The same completion pressed twice is applied once.
