Resources and materials used in an operation

Resource usage

If your ERP system is Microsoft Business Central, these values come from the routing. Completed time is the time that has already been registered in Produce / Operator for the operation.

Material management

Items on the bill of materials that are managed by batches, serial numbers or bin location have a > sign beside the item code. Clicking on the > sign will display the data related to batches, serial numbers and bin locations.

For each material item, you can see the direct stock (i.e. the quantity that is available at the warehouse defined in the operation plan) and the total stock (i.e. the quantity that is available in all warehouses).

If a batch has an expiration date, then it is also displayed. For expired batches, the expiration date is shown in red font, with a warning sign:

Batches and serial numbers are sorted and displayed by creation date (oldest first). Expired batches are listed at the bottom of the batch details table.

Produce / Operator technically allows you to issue materials from expired batches. It is your company's policy that will have the last word on this.
