I can see the Consumption Journal is for consuming components, the Output Journal is for registering Output, and the Production Journal can do both of those things. But what are some real life scenarios where you would choose to use the Consumption and Output Journal rather than just using the Production Journal? Do most companies only use the Production Journal?
If you are recording information on only one Production Order, than the Production Journal is likely the best place (albeit a bit clunky to get to). If your BOM is backflushed, you really only need the Output Journal, in which case it becomes the better option due to ease of access.
If you are recording information on multiple Production Orders, than the Consumption and Output Journals are likely the best place. As Inge pointed out, with the Cons. and Output Journals you can create multiple batches to allow people to record their information separate from other Users.
If everything is backflushed (BOM and Capacities), you don't need any of the Journals (assuming full output happens). Simply changing the Production Order to Finished can post the Output, Consumption, and Capacity Entries all at the same time. Just be aware this process is final and you cannot reopen the Production Order if you missed something.
In all cases, we recommend thorough process testing in a Sandbox before changing your live production processes.
thanks Inge!
There can be situations where you have different people register consumption and output. Then it can be smart to use the different journals.
If it is the same person doing both operation I would use the production journal.
