Hi All,
Wondering if anyone can assist with an issue we are having. We produce products in various sizes, colors, and configurations.
One thing that we would like to do is run one production order for everything that has the same configuration, but may be in different sizes/colors. The size and color do not affect the mfg process because they are specific to our raw materials, the configuration is what we are doing to manipulate the product to make our unique items.
We have created a customization that bundles all of the production orders with one configuration together into one master order grouping - but under this master order there could be 20+ production orders - one for the quantity of each color or size needed. So basically everything that we are running in one batch calls for 20+ POs for an hour or so of labor. This in turn is causing us to have a very high number of transactions, close to 1000 production orders per day, which could be reduced to less than 100 if each batch with the same configuration could be grouped under one production order.
Does anyone have ideas how to do this out of the box, or even with customization?
Thanks,
RM

I have the same question (0)Are you using Works orders (and BOMs) or Batch orders (and Formulas)? If the former, can you even produce different sizes and colors on one works order?
