Adding production feedback

Use this procedure to specify the actual finished good quantity produced, actual components used, and actual burden costs.

Production feedback cannot be performed if the work order has an offsite hold code.

  1. Sign in as Work Order Manager, and select a work order. Select Actions > Start Production Feedback.

    When you begin production feedback, these fields default to these quantities:

    • Component planned quantities default to the Actual Quantity field.
    • Estimated burden costs default to the actual burden fields.
    • Estimated byproduct quantities default to the actual quantity field during byproduct production feedback.
  2. Click Save.
  3. Select the Finished Good tab, and specify the finished good and shrinkage quantity produced by the work order. The finished good quantity is the actual quantity of the finished good that is produced by this work order. You must specify the finished good quantity before production feedback can begin.

    The shrinkage quantity is the amount of shrinkage that occurs when the total actual quantity of all of the components used is less than the actual quantity of the finished goods produced (when all components and the finished goods are in the same unit of measure).

    If you try adding a finished good quantity that is less than the planned quantity, a message is displayed on Split From Work Order prompting you to select whether to split the work order.

  4. Click Save.
  5. Select from these tabs:
    • Finished Goods

      Select Byproduct to access Byproduct Production Feedback. Specify the actual byproduct quantities.

    • Burdens

      Specify the actual burden costs

    • Components

      Specify the actual component quantities used.

    • Byproducts

      Specify other products that are built as a result of this work order process.

  6. If the finished good is tracked by bin, lot, serial number, or multiple unit of measure, the appropriate option is displayed on the Finished Goods tab. Select the option to transfer to the appropriate form. Specify the actual quantity of finished goods.
    • Track finished goods by bin

      Finished Good Bin Feedback

    • Track finished goods by lot

      Finished Good Lot Feedback

    • Track finished goods by serial number

      Finished Good Serial Feedback

    • Track finished goods by unit of measure

      Finished Good UOM Feedback

    • Track finished goods by serial number and cross referenced to component serial numbers

      Finished Good Component Serial Cross Reference

  7. Optionally, if the finished good is serial-tracked and any serial-tracked components exist, you can cross-reference the component serial numbers to the finished good serial number.
  8. If the byproduct is tracked by bin, lot, serial number, or multiple units of measure, the appropriate button is displayed on the Finished Goods tab. Select the option or use the appropriate form. Specify the actual quantity of byproducts that are tracked by bin, lot, serial number, or multiple unit of measure.
    • Track byproducts by bin

      Byproduct Bin Feedback

    • Track byproducts by lot

      Byproduct Lot Feedback

    • Track byproducts by serial number

      Byproduct Serial Feedback

    • Track byproducts by unit of measure

      Byproduct UOM Feedback

  9. If any component is tracked by bin, lot, serial number, or multiple unit of measure, the appropriate option is displayed on the Components tab. Select the option to transfer to the appropriate form. Type the actual quantity of components.
    • Track components by bin

      Component Bin Feedback

    • Track components by lot

      Component Lot Feedback

    • Track components by serial number
