Creating a production order

On Logistics → Production, click New Production Order, choose the recipe, enter the batch multiplier, the target and source warehouse and, if you know it, the planned start. With a planned start the order becomes Planned; without one it stays a Draft.

You can also create an order from the recipe page with New Production Order – the recipe is then already selected.

The fields:

• Recipe – the recipe to produce from.
• Batch Multiplier – how many times the recipe is made. A multiplier of 2 doubles every material and output in the recipe. The system checks that the resulting output quantity fits the product's quantity step (for example, whole units).
• Target Warehouse – where the finished goods go when production is completed.
• Source Warehouse – where the materials are taken from. If it is not set, the target warehouse is used.
• Planned Start – if filled in, the order becomes Planned.
• Notes – free-text notes.

If you leave the warehouses empty and your company has default target or source warehouses set for manufacturing, those are filled in. The order number is assigned automatically.

After saving you land on the order page, where you can check stock and start production. While it is a draft or planned, the order can still be deleted with Delete Order.
