Orders

The Orders Area is used to create customer and stock orders that contain the details needed for production runs, packing lists for shipping finished goods to the customer or to place them into inventory, and customer returns that can be used to create rework jobs.

Orders (Order Entry)

An order can contain one or more production runs (jobs) for items that will either be shipped to a specific customer or placed into inventory upon completion. Items placed into inventory can be used in the production of other manufactured parts (as subassemblies) or be pulled from stock and immediately shipped to a customer.

For production purposes, each job has its own due date, release schedule, and production related details that can be edited as needed.

For more information see Order Entry.

Shipments

Packing lists are used to ship items to the customer once completed or to place finished goods into inventory for future use. Packing lists created for customer jobs are in turn used to create AR Invoices.

In addition to shipping items to customers and placing finished goods into inventory, packing lists are also used to track the use of subassemblies that are made as a part of the production process (as opposed to being pulled from inventory) for the purpose of properly allocating their cost.

For more information see Packing Lists.

Shipments are created from packing lists used to deliver finished goods to customers as a means to generate specific shipping charges and related documentation from one of the associated carriers.

For more information see Shipments.

Customer Rework / Returns

Customer returns are used to track the various details associated with items that are returned from a customer for some reason.

If the Quality Application has been purchased, customer returns can be used to create non-conformance and corrective action records as well.

For more information see Customer Rework / Returns.
