Production overview
Production is a process where a company manufactures a product by processing and combining the components in a sequence of technological operations.
In 1C:Drive, the Production process is a part of the Production module that helps you register, monitor, manage, and analyze your production activities.
The module offers the following benefits:
- Manage production transactions.
- Apply bills of materials.
- Use work-in-progress management workplace.
- Allocate consumed components to manufactured products.
- Make product reservations.
- Track backorders.
- Analyze production transactions.
1C:Drive offers a variety of documents that you can use to register the production process, depending on your needs:
| Document | Description |
|---|---|
| Production order | Confirms that your company is ready to fulfill an order to manufacture a specific quantity of products within a certain time frame. |
| Work-in-progress document | Registers the progress of manufacturing a single product specified in the production order. |
| Replenishment order | Registers procurement of components your company requires for production. Depending on a replenishment source, this document can be a purchase order, production order, or subcontracting order issued. |
| Production task | Registers the progress of a set of technological operations included in the production process. |
| Production document | Registers completion of the production process, records manufactures products and consumed components. |
The chart below displays a typical workflow of the production process. The process stages and their sequence may vary. You are free to use only the documents that match the stages of your production process.
Managing production transactions
Registering production transactions
To register a production transaction, first create a production order. Then, create other documents that reflect the stages of your production process.
To learn how to register the entire production process, see Production process.
To learn how to create and manage production-related documents, see:
You can create production-related documents based on other documents. For example, you can create a production order based on a sales order, or a replenishment order based on a work-in-progress document. This method is preferable to manual document creation because it:
- Ensures traceability of documents related to a production transaction.
- Minimizes errors by automatically copying document details from the source document.
All documents you create go to document lists. For posted documents, transaction records are available.
Using document lists
1C:Drive provides a user-friendly interface for managing production documents. All documents you create for your production transactions are stored in document lists, where you can:
- Monitor document statuses.
- View document details.
- Post documents.
- Generate related documents.
Tracking transaction records
When you post a document, it generates transaction records. The records generated by production documents depend on the accounting settings. For example, if you set accounting by variants, the transaction records can contain variant information both for the consumed components and manufactured products.
In 1C:Drive, you have several options for tracking production transaction records. The options include:
- Product accounting settings. You can set accounting by:
- Variants.
- Batches.
- Serial numbers.
To learn more, see the Products catalog.
Applying bills of materials
When you register a production transaction, you might need to determine which components in which quantities it will require.
Bills of materials are lists of components needed to manufacture a product. For example, a bill of materials for a painted wheelbarrow includes 1 bucket, 2 wheels, 2 handles, and 100 ml of paint.
With bills of materials, you only specify a finished product, and 1C:Drive automatically determines the quantities of components to procure for its production. This saves effort and ensures document accuracy. Using bills of materials also allows for more precise cost allocation between components.
Use work-in-progress management workplace
1C:Drive offers the Work-in-progress management workplace to help you process work-in-progress documents issued by your company.
In the workplace, you can:
- Monitor the progress of each technological operation in your production process.
- Register completion of specific operations or entire work-in-progress documents.
- Quickly generate production tasks.
Allocating consumed components to manufactured products
If you register manufacturing of multiple products with a single production document, you can specify which components were consumed to manufacture which product. This affects production cost of the manufactured products.
Making product reservations
You can reserve the manufactured products for a specific purpose, such as a sales or production order. The reserved products cannot be sold, transferred, or otherwise dispatched for any other purposes.
You can track your reservations using the Available stock and Sales order analysis reports.
Tracking backorders
You can place a replenishment order to restock the components required for production. These components go on backorder. 1C:Drive automatically makes reservation for the components ordered this way.
The Backordered items and Sales order analysis reports help you monitor your backorders. So, you can ensure that you comply with the delivery deadlines and fulfill your commitments.
Analyzing production transactions
1C:Drive provides a variety of reporting tools for analyzing your production transactions. For example, you can easily track the quantities of components available for manufacturing of a specific product, or the cost of goods produced.
