Production is the preparation of dishes and pre-processed items from stock items using recipes.
The ingredients in production are stock items held in store, or other stock items that are also obtained from production (pre-processed).
The result of production is a new stock item that is added to stock as a ready-prepared product. The ingredients that were used in production are automatically deducted from stock.
The production of new dishes is accompanied by , which make it possible to register compound stock items and deduct used stock items.
Production records are used for tracking the internal movement of stock items through the production process and to calculate the cost of the new stock items produced as a result.
When adding compound stock items to the specification of a production record, the parent is only specified for items that are included in the recipe of another compound stock item. The parent is not specified for stock items with recipes.
Stock items without recipes can be added to the specification of a production record either as standalone items or as ingredients of compound stock items.
If a simple stock-item is added to the specification as a standalone item, at least one child item must be specified.
If a simple stock-item is added to the specification as an ingredient, its parent must be specified. The parent can be a standalone item or a compound item that is included as an ingredient in the recipe of another compound item.
Production documents may have different statuses at different stages of processing:
Not ready – document is open for changes
Ready – temporarily makes the production record a read-only document. This record is not run on the store
Registered – assigning this status to the production record makes it disabled for changes and eligible to be processed by the storekeeping system
When a production record is created it has the status Not ready. When the Ready or Registered status has been applied, the document becomes read-only and can no longer be edited or deleted. The document can be run on the store once the Registered status has been applied.
The Deleted status is automatically applied to a production record when it is deleted.
Stock items in a production record also have statuses. These statuses are applied automatically on processing by the storekeeping system.
A document specification item can have one of the following status:
OK – processing on store successfully completed
Not enough on hand in store — processing cannot be completed because the on-hand level of the stock item is less than the amount specified for deduction in the production record
This status is applied when the following circumstances are met:
the store that the production record applies to has the on-hand level monitoring system
the on-hand volume of the stock item goes negative when the production record is processed
Specification item has no recipe – the item included as a top-level (standalone) item has no recipe and no child items
Cost price loop – cost price of the stock item cannot be calculated because the record documenting the consumption of the stock item links to the record documenting the addition of the stock item and vice versa
Production records for all stores in the system are held in the document list.
