What this screen is for
Where a work order says what should be made, a production entry records what was. Summary cards give the number of entries, the total produced, the total rejected and the good output remaining. The list can be searched by product and filtered, and each entry opens on its own record with the costs attached to it.
When to use it
Record an entry as production completes, so that output and rejects are captured while they are known and work order progress stays current. Where several entries are being recorded at once — typically from a single vendor delivery — the batch entry screen is quicker than repeating this one.
What you see on this screen
Four cards: Total Entries, Total Produced, Total Rejected and Good Output. The table carries:
- Entry # / Work Order — the entry number, with the work order it was recorded against
- Product / Date — what was made and when
- Produced — the quantity made on this entry
- Rejected — how many of them failed
- Good Qty — produced less rejected, which is what is added to stock
- Cost/Unit — the total cost divided by the quantity
- Total Cost — the labour, material and forwarding costs booked on the entry
- Status — draft, confirmed or cancelled
- Actions — view, edit and delete
Entry #, Product, Produced, Rejected, Good Qty, Total Cost and Status can each be sorted on.
Filters and actions
Search by entry #, WO number, product narrows the list. Show Filters opens Work Order, Status and a Date Range, with Reset and Clear All. A chip switches Newest First / Oldest First. New Production Entry records one and Batch Entry records several at once.
Deleting an entry reverses the quantities it added to its work order, so the order's completed figure falls back accordingly; the confirmation says so before you go ahead.
Status values
- Draft — recorded but not yet confirmed
- Confirmed — accepted; the quantities count towards the work order
- Cancelled — withdrawn
