Batch Post Output and Run Times

The output quantity represents the work progress in the form of the finished quantity and used capacity of work or machine centre.

You can use the output journal to:

  • Adjust inventory in connection with output of finished items from production.
  • Register quantities and scrap for each operation in production routing.
  • Register setup and run time for work and machine centres.

Note

If production routing are used, the inventory is updated only when you post output quantity on the last operation.

The Production Journal page lets you do the same tasks as in the Output Journal page, and also do consumption posting tasks. For more information, see Register Consumption and Output for One Released Production order line.

    Capacity ledger entries are updated for the used work or machine centres with information about time and quantity of output and scrap. If you posted the last operation, the item will be added to the inventory.
