Notice that the work order number is the same as the sales order number we entered earlier. The only difference is that a "-1" has been appended to the number.

In addition, we will be looking at how the system handles lot-controlled materials. The bill of materials (BOM) for item YTRUCK1 contains the item YPAINT1, which is a lot-controlled item. During the backflush process, we will be prompted to tell xTuple ERP which lot was used to produce the finished product. To post production, follow these steps:
