Production feedback

Production feedback can be used to indicate:

• Actual quantity of finished goods and byproducts that are produced
• Components that are used and wasted
• Actual burden costs

Production feedback cannot be performed unless you have allocated all of the components for the quantity of finished goods that are being produced.

Work orders can be split during production feedback. You can only split a work order if you add a finished good quantity that is less than the planned quantity.

Splitting work orders is used to improve your service level. For example, you have a work order for 100 red bicycles. The time required to produce them is three days. At the end of the second day, you have produced 70 bicycles. By splitting the work order, you can make the first 70 finished goods (red bicycles) available to send to customers.

When a work order is split, the new work order has the same number as the original work order. The work order suffix is incremented by one.

Comments can be attached to work orders and byproducts after you have started production feedback but before you have released them.
