Production Orders
A Production Order is the plan for a manufacturing run. It tells Udyot what you intend to make, from which Bill of Material, in which godown, and by when — then tracks the run from draft through to completion so you always know what is in progress and how actual output compares to plan.
Before you begin
You need an active Bill of Material for the product. Open Manufacturing → Production Orders.
Creating and running a Production Order — step by step
- New order: Pick the BOM, the planned output quantity, the godown, and expected start/end dates (in Bikram Sambat).
- Release: Releasing the order takes a snapshot of the planned cost from the BOM roll-up, so you can later compare plan vs actual.
- Run production: Post one or more Manufacturing Journals against the order. The order moves to In Progress automatically and records actual output.
- Complete: When the run is finished, mark it completed. You will see actual quantity, actual cost, and variance against the released plan.
Order statuses
- Draft — planned, not yet committed.
- Released — cost snapshot taken, ready for the shop floor.
- In Progress — at least one Manufacturing Journal posted.
- Completed — run finished; variance available.
- Cancelled — can be cancelled any time before completion.
Tips & common questions
Do I have to produce the full planned quantity? No. Udyot tracks remaining quantity, so you can produce in several journals over time.
How is on-time delivery measured? Expected vs actual end dates feed the Manufacturing dashboard’s overdue and on-time-delivery metrics.
