Production Deliveries
After Production Order confirmation, the items on a production order can be received into inventory in one or more "deliveries" allowing you to see what products are available to ship to your customers.
A delivery is just a grouping of production that is received by you at one time. You build a delivery record in much the same way as you build a shipment for a customer order. When you've finished entering the products and quantities received, you can "check" the items into inventory.
How to Create a Delivery
Ensure that your production order is confirmed. Then, to create a delivery:
From the "Create" drop-down choose "Delivery".
Click the checkboxes on the left to select the line items that you are receiving.
Amend quantities if necessary and click the "Create delivery" button.
You'll then be taken to view the new, draft delivery. Note that your inventory levels won't be updated until you mark this delivery as checked into inventory.
Checking Deliveries Into Your Inventory
To check in a delivery, first, open it and click the Deliver button. Once the items in the delivery have been delivered, you can proceed to checking them in as demonstrated below:
Inventory levels will be updated, and you will be redirected back to the delivery. You'll notice that the quantities are now locked. If you made a mistake, it's possible to reverse the check-in by clicking the "Reverse ↩" link at the bottom left.
How to View Received Dates for Production Order Deliveries
Would you like to see the dates you received production orders delivered by your supplier? Simply navigate to Warehouse Management >> Goods Receipt. Then scooch a little to the right to locate the Received Date column. You can download the entire information on that page as an Excel file if you so desire.
