Every production run has a status. The production status can have the following values:
Plan
Production is initially created in the “Plan” status. Materials are not deducted and products are not added to inventory while the production is in “Plan” status.
In Progress
When production moves to “In Progress” status, all materials used for this production will be deducted from inventory. However, products will not yet be added.
Completed
When production moves to “Completed” status, all manufactured products will be added to inventory.
To change the production status, click on the status icon and select the desired status. Before changing the production status, you'll see a calculation of the inventory changes for materials and products.
You can also change the default status for new production runs in the settings.
For example, if you set the default status for new production to “Completed” in the settings, any new production will be created with “Completed” status, used materials will be immediately deducted, and manufactured products will be added to inventory.
