Step by step

A manufacturing order (MO) makes a quantity of a product from its bill of materials. It is created by a sales order for a product made to order, by a reordering rule, or by hand with New.

The list of manufacturing orders with their source sales orders
Manufacturing orders of the demo company, most of them created by sales orders (Source).
A manufacturing order in progress with its components
An order in progress: the components to consume, and whether they are available.
  1. Confirm the order: the components are reserved, and Component Status shows whether everything is there.
  2. Work through the Work Orders tab. Each operation of the bill of materials becomes a work order at its work centre, with its expected and its real duration. Start one with the play button; its timer runs until you pause it or finish it.
  3. When the product is finished, click Produce All. The components are taken out of stock, the finished product goes in, and the order is done.

The work orders: two finished, the third in progress, each at its own work centre.

Operators usually run their work orders from the Shop Floor app: large buttons, one work centre at a time, on a tablet next to the machine.
