Trigger to create a manufacturing work order

Order Must Be Authorised

1. Deposit Received or not required

External components must be ordered - example material

1. External supplied components are identified on the order line and an ETA is required before can create a manufacturing job

From the Order create the required Jobs.

Production Process Overview

Purchasing all required Components

The WIP dashboard lists all Authorised orders that have outstanding components to order externally

Once each line has a reference and ETA then the job can be created

Creating Production Job (one per Sofa Order Line)

On the Sales Order > right click on the sofa to create the job

1. Quantity will be the order line

2. The production process linked to the top level item will create Production steps

3. Where a component has a TAG that tag will be respected to add or remove production steps

   1. Example

      1. Production Process step “sew cushion full cover” is only required when feathers are chosen

         1. Feather choice has a tag of “F”

         2. Production step has a tag of “F” and is set to “Include only with TAG”

      2. So a 2 Seater sofa with a feather fill seat will have an additional step of sewing cushion covers
