Manufacturing settings

The options in this field are Manual, Manufacture To Order and Re-Order Level Based.

The choice in this field does not currently have an impact anywhere in CRM – this will change with future development.

Enabling this option means that CRM will not allow Products to be added as Output Products on Bills of Material or Work Orders unless they are stock tracked.

Stock tracking enabled on a manufactured product

You can also quickly determine which of your Products are both manufactured and stock tracked by adding the respective columns to a Layout and then searching for “True” values in the search box of each column.

You may need to edit some of your existing Products so that they have stock tracking enabled.

Enabling this setting means that CRM can automatically set the Status of Work Orders to In Progress, based on the order/s being printed.

This feature can be useful if you are printing your Work Orders in bulk, as it means that you also don’t have to perform the 2nd step of updating the Status of all the orders manually.

Bulk printing Work Orders

It will also be useful if you want to assume that a Work Order has been started if it has been printed.

Just note that it may not always be possible to mark an order as In Progress due to stock issues, batch or serial information that needs to be entered or Resources that need to be added.

The options in this field are Off, Link To A Product, Move To Location, Move To Batch.

The choice in this field does not currently have an impact anywhere in CRM – this will change with future development.

If this option is enabled it means that an Outbound Shipment will be automatically generated from a Sales Order once the manufacturing process in CRM has been marked as Completed and stock of the Product is then available.
