Completing production

On an in-progress order, click Complete to finish production. Enter the quantity actually produced, the batch number and expiry date where needed, and – if it differed from the plan – the material quantities actually used.

The Complete Production window has two parts.

Outputs

For each finished product, enter the quantity produced in Actual; the planned value is prefilled. If the difference exceeds the yield tolerance set on the recipe, it is highlighted.

• For batch-tracked products the Batch Number is required. The order number is prefilled.
• For perishable products the Expiry Date is required. A date calculated from the product's default shelf life is prefilled.

Actual consumption

For each material you can change the quantity actually used:

• If more was used than planned, the difference is recorded as scrap and taken out of the source warehouse. If there is not enough stock for that, you get a warning. Whether stock may go negative in this case is set on the Stock Settings page.
• If less was used, the leftover is handled as set on the recipe: it goes back to stock (Reusable), does not go back (Scrap), or you decide here (Decide per order: Return to stock or Scrap).

When you click Complete, the finished goods are added to the target warehouse and the order becomes Completed. The order page then shows planned and actual quantities, the variance, the scrap, and the planned and actual cost.
