Stock Deduction Type (Required Field):.

• • “Stock Deduction Type” with options Group-Based and Manual.

    This field typically appears in ERP/Inventory or POS (Point of Sale) systems, and its function is to determine how stock (inventory quantities) should be reduced when items are sold, issued, or consumed.

    Explanation of Stock Deduction Type

    When an item is sold, dispatched, or consumed in production, the ERP needs to know how to deduct that stock from inventory. The Stock Deduction Type defines the rule for this process:

    1. Manual

       • The user decides which batch, lot, or location stock should be deducted from.

       • Example: If a company has 50 units in Warehouse A and 30 units in Warehouse B, the system won’t auto-choose. The user must select where the stock will come from.

       • Useful when stock control is strict (e.g., pharmaceuticals, high-value items, compliance industries).

    2. Group-Based

       • The system automatically deducts stock according to predefined rules (such as FIFO – First In First Out, LIFO – Last In First Out, or location priority).

       • Example: In retail sales, if you sell 5 units, the system will automatically reduce it from the batch/warehouse defined by the group rule without user intervention.

       • Useful in fast-moving environments (e.g., supermarkets, wholesale) where speed matters.

    Where It Is Used

    • Sales Order Processing / POS: To deduct stock when invoices or sales are made.

    • Production / Manufacturing: To consume raw materials during production.

    • Inventory Adjustments / Transfers: To control from which warehouse, location, or batch the stock is deducted.

    How Users Work With It

    • If “Manual” is selected → Every time stock is deducted, the user will pick the specific warehouse, lot, or batch.

    • If “Group-Based” is selected → The ERP automatically deducts based on system-defined logic (faster, less control).

    👉 In short:

    • • • Stock Deduction Type controls how inventory quantities are reduced. Manual = user-controlled, Group-Based = system-controlled (based on rules).

Allow Prod Without Planning (Required Field):

• “Allow Prod Without Planning” with options Yes / No.

  This is a control setting in ERP production or manufacturing modules. It defines whether production can be started directly without creating/approving a production plan (or work order).

  Explanation of "Allow Prod Without Planning"

  1. No (default, stricter control)

     • Production cannot start unless there is a planned work order or production schedule in the system.

     • Enforces discipline: raw materials, capacity, and routing must be planned before manufacturing begins.

     • Prevents ad-hoc or unauthorized production.

     • Useful for industries where strict resource planning and compliance are required (automotive, pharma, electronics).

  2. Yes (flexible, less controlled)

     • Allows users to start production immediately, even without a production plan.

     • Useful for urgent, small, or unplanned jobs (e.g., rework, custom orders, prototypes).

     • Risks: raw material shortages, overuse of resources, or misalignment with MRP (Material Requirements Planning).

  Where It Is Used

  • Manufacturing Module (ERP) → While creating a Production Order or Job Card.

  • Production Execution Stage → Decides if operators can directly start making items without planned schedules.

  • Shop Floor Control → For quick jobs, urgent requirements, or maintenance-related production.

  How Users Work With It

  • If set to No →

    • User must create a Production Plan → Generate a Work Order → Then production can be started.

  • If set to Yes →

    • User can directly start production (for example, producing 10 units immediately) without going through planning approval.

  👉 In short:

  “Allow Prod Without Planning” controls whether production can bypass the formal planning process.

  • No = strict, planned production only

  • Yes = flexible, ad-hoc production allowed

Consumption is Fixed as per BOM (Required Field):

"Consumption is Fixed as per BOM" means that the quantity of raw materials or components consumed during production is strictly based on the quantities defined in the BOM (Bill of Materials), regardless of the actual amount used on the shop floor.

This is typically a setting in an ERP system that tells the system how to handle material consumption during manufacturing.

What is a BOM (Bill of Materials)?

A Bill of Materials (BOM) is a structured list of all the materials, components, and subassemblies needed to manufacture a finished product. It includes:

• Material name or code

• Quantity required

• Unit of measure

• Other attributes (like wastage, scrap, etc.)

What Does "Consumption is Fixed" Mean?

If "Consumption is Fixed" is set to Yes, then the system will:

• Automatically consume materials exactly as per the BOM when you confirm production.

• Even if more or fewer materials were actually used during production, the system does not adjust the consumption.

If it is set to No, then:

• The user or system can manually enter the actual quantity of material consumed.

• Useful in cases where consumption varies depending on production conditions (e.g., size, weight, human error, waste).

Where is it Used?

This setting is used in manufacturing modules of ERP systems

You’ll typically find this setting in:

• Production Order / Work Order creation

• Item Master 

• PD Setup

How Does It Work?

If “Consumption is Fixed = Yes”:

• When a production order is processed (or confirmed), the system:

  • Refers to the BOM.

  • Issues material from inventory automatically based on BOM quantity.

  • Does not ask for actual consumption input.

Example:

BOM says you need 10 kg of Material A per unit.
You produce 5 units → system consumes exactly 50 kg, regardless of what was really used.

---

If “Consumption is Fixed = No”:

• The system allows you to manually enter the actual consumption.

• Useful when production involves variable inputs.

Example:

BOM says 10 kg of Material A, but due to wastage, you used 12 kg.
You can enter the actual 12 kg into the system for accurate tracking.

Live Production Entry:

“Live Production Entry” refers to the real-time recording of production data as it happens on the shop floor. When this setting is enabled (set to Yes), the production system expects that all production activities (quantities produced, material consumed, machine time, etc.) will be entered and updated live—as and when the production occurs.

What It Means in Practice

• If Live Production Entry = Yes:

  • Yes:Operators Allowsor real-timeproduction users must enter production data entryimmediately when production happens.

  • The system may require details like:

    • Quantity produced

    • Material consumed

    • Time taken

    • Machine used

    • Operator involved

  • Often integrated with barcode scanners, MES (e.g.Manufacturing Execution Systems), via scanning or livemobile input)devices.

• If Live Production Entry = No:

  • Production data can be entered later (batch entry or backdated).

  • No:Suitable Disablesfor real-timeenvironments inputwhere andlive expectsupdates batchare entry.not possible or practical.

How It Works – Workflow

When Set to "Yes" (Live Entry):

1. Operator starts a job on the machine.

2. They scan the job order (barcode or RFID).

3. As production progresses:

   • Every unit produced is logged in real-time.

   • Material consumed is deducted immediately.

   • Any defects or stoppages are reported live.

4. System updates inventory and production reports instantly.

When Set to "No" (Non-live or Batch Entry):

1. Production happens on the floor.

2. At the end of the shift/day, the supervisor logs into the system.

3. Manually enters:

   • Total quantity produced

   • Materials used

   • Time taken

4. Inventory is updated only after posting.

Frequency (Hours) in Minute (Example : 15):

The system will send alerts at the specified time intervals, notifying the designated machine authority to complete the production report accordingly

Determines how often (in minutes) the system checks or records production frequency — here, every 15 minutes.

Dynamic Field in Operation:

• Yes/No: Enables or disables dynamic/custom fields during the production operation process. (like machine settings, operator notes, etc.).

• These dynamic fields will be visible on the production report screen, where during add/edit production based on setting these dynamic inputs fields are required to be filled along with other inputs data.

Rejection Ratio Display from last no of production (Example : 5)

• Displays the rejection ratio (defective items) based on the last 5 production batches/entries.
  

Display Records For Item Purchase History (Example : 10)

• When viewing item purchase history, the system will show the last 10 records

How It Works

This page controls how raw materials are deducted, how production is recorded, and whether packing is centralized. Based on these settings:

• Materials can be auto-deducted (group-based) or manually tracked.

• Production can follow a BOM strictly or allow flexibility.

• Operators may enter production data live, with optional dynamic fields.

• All activities are location-specific and affect inventory control.
