The production module defines basics for production management: Bill of material and production order.
Bills of Material are list of products and quantities needed to produce a product. It is often shorten with BOM.
A Production is mainly defined by a product, a BOM, a location, a quantity and two lists of moves:
Inputs
The moves between the storage location and the production location (as defined on the warehouse) for products used for production.
Outputs
The moves between the production location and the storage location for products produced.
The production can be in one of this states:
Request
The production is requested by the system.
Draft
Input and output moves are in draft.
Waiting
The production is waiting for action and all moves are still in draft.
Assigned
The input moves are assigned.
Running
The input moves are in state done.
Done
The output moves are in state done.
Cancel
All moves are cancelled.
The cost of the production is computed with the sum of the cost price of all incoming products. If a product is selected, it will have the cost as unit price. The production verify that all the cost is spread on the unit price of output moves.
