Manufacture Operation Confirmation

The confirmation of one operation of a manufacturing order. Each operation issues what it consumes and posts its resource cost; the last operation in sequence also receives the output.

Where

Manufacturing › Manufacture

Who uses it

The production supervisor

When

As each operation finishes

Needs first

A released Manufacturing Order with a routing

What it is for

The same screen as Manufacture Order Confirmation, with Operation and Sequence on the header: only that operation's resources come in. Save issues components and posts resource cost as on the order confirmation. The output is received and added to the order only when the operation is the last in sequence; it may not confirm more than the operations of that last sequence have confirmed, nor more than the previous operation confirmed.

This screen does not offer Reverse.

How to configure it

As for the order confirmation.

Scenarios

• A garment factory confirms cutting, stitching and finishing separately. One operation confirmation per stage; finishing, the last, receives the garments.

What it is connected to

• Manufacture Order Confirmation - the whole-order confirmation
• Routing - operations and sequence
• Manufacturing Order - the order
• Plan to produce - the manufacturing process this confirmation is a step of.

If something looks wrong

• "You cannot Confirm ... Quantity, Previous Operation Confirmation is ..." Confirm the previous operation first.
• "You cannot Confirm ... Quantity, This Operation is already confirm ... Quantity" Less is left on this operation.
• "Your Last Sequence Operation Confirmation is Less ..." Another operation of the last sequence has confirmed less.
• "Production Order not found" Pick a valid order.
• "Confirmation date cannot be smaller then Production Date" Use a date on or after the order date.
• "Component Lines Data cannot be Empty" Add output lines.
• "Confirm Quantity is not matching with Confirm lines" The output and co-product lines must add up to Confirmation Quantity.
• "Production Confirmation - Line ID: ... - Unit cannot be Empty" Fill the unit of the consumption line.
• "Confirm - Line ID: ... - Confirm Quantity: ... cannot exceed Production Order Quantity: ..." More than what is left on the order.
• "Please Define Issuance Journal in Setting" Set Journal For Issuance on the manufacturing setting.
• "Please Define Resource Journal in Setting" Set Journal for Resource.
• "Resource ... Debit Account is not Configured" / "... Credit Account is not Configured" Give the resource its accounts (company setup).
• "Serial Production is not configured" A serial-tracked output cannot be confirmed.
• "Batch Number is Mandatory" / "Batch Date is Mandatory" / "Batch Expiry Date is Mandatory" / "Batch Before Date is Mandatory" Fill what the item's tracking structure asks for.
• "Production Item ... Default Warehouse is not defined" Give the item a default warehouse.
• "Item: ... Manufacturing Type is not defined in Item in Legal Entity" Set Type on the item.
• The finished good did not come into stock. Journal For Receive is empty on the setting; nothing is received automatically. Receive it on the production receipt screen in inventory.
