The order lifecycle
An order moves through planned → released → in progress → completed. You can cancel it before any material is issued. Components are scaled from the BOM when the order is created, so editing a BOM later never changes a live order.
Steps
- Create the production order from a BOM and quantity. (You can also use Plan production from a sales order, if you use Sales.)
- Release it.
- Issue materials. Vrodux runs a shortage check. If something is short, you can raise a purchase requisition from the shortage (needs Purchase).
- Record the operations as they run.
- Complete the order, with optional backflush.
Finished goods
Scrapped units are not received. Good units are received into Inventory at actual unit cost.
