Phases of Quality Control in Business Central – 4
In our previous blog, we walked you through the process of procuring high-quality raw materials and the essential quality checks that ensure only the best make it to production.
Now that we’ve laid the groundwork, it’s time to ask: What happens next? How do we turn those raw materials into timely deliveries for our customers? That’s where the planning of sales orders comes in!
In this blog, we’ll dive into the crucial steps of sales order planning, discussing how we manage demand, and ensure a seamless flow from order placement to delivery. Let’s take a closer look at how this next phase keeps everything running smoothly!
Firm plan production order
- As we have procured the shortage raw and packing materials, it’s time to convert the firm plan order to released production order.
- To release the order, click on “change status” action, and select released.
- The order will be converted to Released production order.
Released production order
A Released Production Order in Business Central indicates that the production order has been finalized and is ready to begin production. Once released:
- Materials are allocated from inventory.
- Production begins.
- You can track material consumption and finished goods.
Material Issue
- The first step in production is getting the materials to the production floor.
- A Material issue is a document created from the released production page.
- Raw/Packing materials are transferred to production location. By posting material issue, system creates a reclassification entry.
Production Journal
- Production Journal is used to post and track production activities, ensuring accurate inventory management and financial records. When a production order is completed, the production journal allows users to record the consumption of raw materials and the declaration of finished goods output.
- When the production journal is posted, the quantity is transferred from production location to undertest location if the FG item is enabled for quality check.
- Later the quality check is conducted by the quality team as and when necessary.
- User manually creates the inspection datasheet from the released production order page.
