In the early days of SAP Business One, it was always emphasised that the functions around the production were more suitable for companies with a simple assembly process. Manufacturers who wanted to use SAP Business One resorted to add-ons for production control. Over time, however, more and more functions were added for manufacturing companies.
SAP Business One is now quite capable of serving manufacturing companies entirely from its standard functions.
Production control at a glance
The user can create production orders directly in the system from the existing order data on the basis of stored parts lists. The automatic comparison with your existing resources and stocks allows you to identify bottlenecks and trigger orders or supplier enquiries as required. The integrated Material Requirements Planning (MRP) ensures a smooth production process. An MRP wizard guides you intuitively through these steps in SAP Business One. At the same time, the production employees also have an overview of the open production orders: Whether these are being produced in stock or for customers and whether sufficient resources are available.
New videos on production control
SAP has now published several videos on its YouTube channel about the Production control published.
The first clip starts with the release of a production order and shows how the deadlines are calculated.
In this clip, stages 2 and 3 are edited in the production order.
This clip shows how variances are managed in the production process. A variance can occur if an additional component has to be output.
In this video you can see how to make a production order is finalised. When a production order is finalised, all outstanding expenses for production and income from production as well as all other stock-related transactions, e.g. allocation of serial/batch numbers etc. are carried out.
This clip shows the reporting at the end of the production process.
This clip shows how a production order is closed and the links generated in the production process are displayed.
