Integration of Production Management with other Infor applications
This table shows how Production Management is interfaced with other Infor applications.
| Application | Description |
|---|---|
| Inventory Control | The items, locations, finished goods, and burdens that you define
in Inventory Control are used in Production Management. 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 and finished goods produced at the end of production. Scheduled demand is also created in Production Management based on the item forecast. |
| Global Ledger |
The accounts you define in Global Ledger are used in Production Management. During production, entries for a Work In Progress (WIP) account are created. After production, entries, such as for WIP, inventory, burden, and waste, are sent 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 application. |
