Workflows & examples
1. From BOM to finished goods
- Engineering maintains the product’s BOM with components, quantities, and UOM.
- A planner creates a work order for a quantity; the BOM explodes into a material list.
- Production runs — materials are consumed in base units and finished goods are received into inventory.
- The work-order cost rolls up and posts inventory valuation to Accounting.
2. Scheduling to release
- Open Manufacturing → Schedule to see planned work orders across work centers.
- Resequence manually as needed (the schedule does not check capacity).
- Release work orders to the shop floor to begin production.
- Track progress and output in Overview and Reports.
