Production feedback

You perform production feedback to indicate

  • actual quantity of finished goods and byproducts produced,

  • components used and wasted, and

  • actual burden costs.

Note: You cannot perform production feedback if you have not allocated all the components for the quantity of finished goods you are producing.

During production feedback, you can split work orders. The application lets you split a work order only if you add a finished good quantity that is less than the planned quantity.

Splitting work orders lets you improve your service level. For example, you have a work order for 100 red bicycles. The time needed 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 you split a work order, the new work order has the same number as the original work order. The work order suffix is incremented by one.

You can attach comments to work orders and byproducts after you have started production feedback but before you have released it. Adding comments during production feedback
