Create Production Run

This screen allows you to create a production run to manufacture a product. Enter the following fields

• Product ID - for the product you are manufacturing
• Quantity - number of units of the product to be manufactured
• Start Date - date and time when the production run will begin
• Routing Id - identifies the routing, which is a list of tasks, required to manufacture the product. The routing must already be associated with the product using the Manufacturing > Routing >> Routing Product Link screen. If you do not enter one, the system will use the first routing associated with the product. If there are no routings, then it will try to look for one with identifier DEFAULT_ROUTING. If this could not be found, you will get an error.

Your product must also have a Manufacturing Bill Of Material (BOM) associated with it, or a production run cannot be started. To check, go to Purchasing > BOM >> BOM Simulation, select "Manufacturing Bill Of Materials", type in your productId, and make sure that a valid BOM is shown.

Note that the BOM information is cached, so if you just created or update one, you might need to ask the system administrator to clear the cache in webtools for it to work properly.
