Hi:
 
Would someone please explain to me some interesting things that I'm seeing about manufacturing's Production Journal?
 
Why do you still have to enter Output and Times for the routing steps, if you're backflushing?  I though that you only had to do so for Manual flushing.
 
Why do you remove the inventory items from this Journal?  I saw someone do that.
 
What if you have two dozen steps in your routing?  Filling out the times in this Journal can be frustrating for the end user.
 
Is there a good tutorial online that acts as a single source of truth on the Production Journal?  I'm finding conflicting statements about how to process this.
 
I'm not interested in advanced shipping, etc.  I just want to know how to fill out a plain vanilla Production Journal.
 
Thanks!
 
John

    Since you’re looking for a straightforward tutorial, Microsoft has a dedicated Business Central documentation site that covers the basics of production and inventory journals, which can be a reliable source.
     
    Sometimes users remove inventory items from the Production Journal to streamline entries. This is common in cases where materials are auto-consumed (backflushed) and don't need manual adjustments in the journal. If you’re set up for backflushing, inventory items won’t need to be entered manually unless there are exceptions or adjustments to make.
