Manufacturing order overview and printing

A manufacturing order has an overview that shows what it consumes and costs, line by line. From the order you also print the production order for the workshop and the labels of the finished products, and you find the orders made for its semi-finished components.

Before you start

2. MO Overview lists the finished product, each component and each operation with its quantity, unit cost and cost, then the cost of the components and of the operations, in total and per unit. Unfold opens every level, Display sets what is shown and Print prints the overview.

How do I print the order and the labels?

1. Open the order and point to Print in the gear menu: Production Order prints the order for the workshop; Finished Product Label (PDF) and Finished Product Label (ZPL) print the labels of the finished product, the second for label printers; Print Labels opens a choice of labels.

2. On an order of a product tracked by lot, Print Labels asks for the Labels to print: Product Labels or Lot/SN Labels, then Confirm.

How do I find the child orders of an order?

When the semi-finished products of an order are made by their own orders, those orders are its child orders, see Manage Semi-Finished Product in Manufacturing process.

1. In Manufacturing ‣ Operations ‣ Manufacturing Orders, type the reference of the parent order in the search box and choose Search Child MOs for.

2. The list shows the child orders on every level, here the table top and the table legs of a dining table.
