7. Work Orders

Earlier in the process flow, we used the Schedule module to create a planned work order for item TSUB1, based on sales order demand for the top-level item, YTRUCK1. We released this planned work order to the Manufacture module from the Schedule module. As you will also recall, the work order for the top-level item, YTRUCK1, was released to the Manufacture module during sales order entry. Now we will process these two work orders, before moving on to ship our finished product, YTRUCK1.

Note

xTuple ERP gives you the flexibility to configure individual work order material requirements to be either backflushed or manually issued, depending on your needs. In addition, xTuple ERP has tools that enable managers to add, modify, or delete material requirements and operations on a work order.
