Add Production
Add Production creates a production order — the formal instruction to manufacture a specified quantity of a finished good using raw materials defined in your Bill of Materials (BoM / Recipe). Raw materials are reserved when the order is created; actual stock deduction happens on submission.
Prerequisite: Recipe / Bill of Materials
Before creating a production order, you need a Recipe (BoM) for the finished item. Go to All Master → Recipe to define what raw materials are required to produce one unit of the finished good. ABSS multiplies the BoM quantities by the planned production quantity automatically.
