Manage Work Orders
In any MRP (Manufacturing Resource Planning), the work order (WO) is crucial. In Brytebuild, a WO initiates a job. It monitors the work and time involved. WO assists an individual or group in producing the necessary item. It offers detailed instructions on how to undertake a certain task. After reading this page, you will learn how to allocate a job WO to an individual or group, how to commence a WO, and how to conclude a WO.
Create Work Orders/Schedule
Let’s first discuss how to create a schedule/work order. To create a schedule, navigate to the schedule page from the dashboard and click “create schedule“.
- The user option is utilised when you wish to allocate a schedule to a single specific user, and the group option is employed when you intend to assign a schedule to a group of members/staff.
- The order option is used when you aim to directly attach a scheduled job to a sales order.
- The non-order option is applied when there is no sales order for that job schedule, or you decide to attach a sales order later.
- Types are used to assign a category to the schedule, e.g., training, development, building, etc.
The automatically picking option will generate a picking for this job schedule.
Now, let’s create a job schedule for a group. First, let’s choose the group option. Next, let’s input the name of the job schedule and its description. Now select a group, then choose the type of job schedule. For this example, let’s select the order type and attach a sales order to this schedule. Proceeding, let’s specify the starting date/time and ending date/time. Now select a warehouse. Let’s then choose items for this job schedule. For this example, let’s also create a picking by ticking the picking option.
