Integration of Production Management with other Infor solutions

This figure shows how the Production Management solution interfaces with other Infor solutions.


Solution	Description
Inventory Control	Production Management uses the items, locations, finished goods, and burdens that are defined in Inventory Control. During the work order process, component goods in inventory are allocated for a specific work order. The stock on hand is updated for both components used and finished goods produced at the end of production. Inventory Control can also create scheduled demand in Production Management based on an item forecast.
Global Ledger	Production Management uses the accounts defined in the Global Ledger. During production, Production Management creates entries for a Work In Progress (WIP) account. After production, Production Management passes entries for WIP, inventory, burden, waste, and so on, to the Global Ledger.
Warehouse	Backordered finished goods from both the Item and Order Billing and the Requisitions applications (and other work orders) create demand in the Warehouse application that is recognized by Production Management. The end of the work order process increases the number of finished goods available for allocation. A finished good created in Production Management from a document demand (Item and Order Billing or Requisitions) can now continue being processed by the Warehouse application, and delivered to the customer.
Item and Order Billing and Requisitions to Warehouse	When you create a sales order or a requisition, or other work orders that have finished goods as components, for an item with no availability, a demand record (that is used by Production Management) is created within the Warehouse solution.
