Action Buttons:
These buttons represent common actions you can take on a Manufacturing Order:
- "Mark as Done": This is a critical button. Once all components are consumed and the product is assembled/manufactured, clicking this button marks the MO as complete, updates inventory for the finished product, and consumes the components.
Explanation:
-
To Consume: The total quantity needed vs. currently reserved. Here it shows 0.00 / 1.00, meaning nothing is reserved yet, although 1 unit is needed.
-
Reserved: The system shows Not Available, which means the required stock of components (Red and Yellow Color Lamp) is not available in inventory.
-
Consumed: 0.00 — Nothing has been consumed yet.
-
Unit of Measure: unit — Standard UoM for these components.
12) Action Buttons.
These are the user's options to respond to the pop-up:
- "Apply": This is the confirmation button. Clicking this will proceed with the "immediate production" as described in the warning message. It will finalize the manufacturing order, updating stock levels for both finished goods and components. This is typically used when you want to bypass manual recording of production steps and assume the full quantity has been produced.
- "Cancel": This button allows the user to abort the current action and close the pop-up without performing the immediate production. The user can then go back and manually record quantities or re-evaluate the situation.
To Consume: Quantity required as per BoM.
-
Consumed: Quantity actually used in production.
-
Unit of Measure: Measurement unit (here it is unit).
Both components have been fully consumed as per the BoM, which indicates that the production process went as planned.
