Manufacturing Operations Work Orders

When a manufacturing order has operations defined in its routing, individual work orders are created — one per operation. The Work Orders list shows all pending operations with their work centre, scheduled start time, duration, and status. Operators see only the work orders assigned to their work centre.

Record work order progress

Open a work order and click Start Work to begin the timer. The elapsed time is tracked automatically. When the operation is complete, click Done. If quality checks are attached to this operation, they must be passed before the work order can be marked done. The next work order in the routing becomes available when the previous is done.
