Production Wizards and Reports

For some people the concept of wizards might be unclear with regards to SAP Business One, wizards are tools in SAP Business One that are used to generate documents on a large scale. For example, Payment Wizard can be used to generate batches of incoming and outgoing payments according to the selected open A/R and A/P invoices in one go. In this blog we will look into the wizards and reports available in the production module. 

• Procurement Confirmation Wizard : - This Wizard assists the users in creating multiple procurement documents such as production orders, purchase orders to name a few, directly from one or more sales orders. Procurement documents created using this function can include a select few or all of the items from the sales order(s). The functions of this wizard are: - 

• Consolidate multiple sales orders for production.

• Create a production order directly from a sales order.

• Bill of Materials Report: - This report lists all the bill of materials created in a very comprehensive manner. Information such as route sequence, route stage, price, quantity are some of the fields that are shown in the report. 

•  Production Cost Recalculation Wizard: - This wizard enables you to recalculate production costs based on current cost values. Components managed by serial/batch valuation method might be issued for production before their final cost is determined. There could be a valuating cost price transaction such as Landed Cost, AP Invoice based on goods receipt PO (GRPO), Inventory Revaluation that will change the component's price after it was issued for production.That is when we make use of this wizard to re-calculate the production cost of such items. 

• Open Items List: - This report displays all the open documents related to the production module. All open production orders can be viewed using this report.
