## Production Workflow

### Summary

When a [Sales Order](https://metalcraft.gitbook.io/manual/document_guides/sales_order) is approved for manufacture, the ERP checks all reorder points for each item on the order against inventory and all open orders.  If a reorder point for manufacture is tripped, a Material Request for Manufacture (MRM) is generated.  MRMs populate on each workstation's Manufacturing report.&#x20;

Production members create a 'Work Order'(WO) from the MRM. From this, they complete a [Stock Entry for Manufacture](https://metalcraft.gitbook.io/manual/document_guides/stock_entry) for assemblies built, adding [traceability information](https://github.com/metalcraft/manual/tree/76aecff988fbc753936cd5a3eb2463ec73e7444b/batch.md) for the components, and [submit the document](https://metalcraft.gitbook.io/manual/forms/submitting_forms). This adds those assemblies into stock so that they can be used in other transactions.  Alternatively, WOs can be created by the Production Manager.  If assemblies are to be returned to the stock room for storage, a Material Request for Transfer will be created.

Meanwhile, the Final Pack team will be monitoring the Pick/Pack report.  For orders that are to be packed, the pick/pack team will create a [Delivery Note](https://metalcraft.gitbook.io/manual/document_guides/delivery_note) for the Sales Order. They will add batch & serial numbers for the items that they pack. Once complete, they will save the delivery note and set the status to ‘Packing Complete’, and send the package to the shipping staging area.
