Work Centre: View Production Jobs, Input Materials and Production Entries

Objective

This guide explains how to use the Work Centre screen in ManufApp to:

  • Select the required machine or work centre

  • View production jobs linked with a Sales Order or Work Order

  • Identify the item currently selected for production

  • Check input material issued and material required

  • View production entries already recorded against the selected job


Overview

The Work Centre screen provides shopfloor-level visibility for production execution. Once a machine is selected, users can view the jobs planned for that machine and check the related material and production details from one screen.

The same process applies whether the job is created against a:

  • Sales Order

  • Work Order


Go to:

Production → Work Centre

The Work Centre screen opens with the machine selection option and job details.



Step 1: Select the Required Machine

At the top-left side of the screen, select the required machine from the dropdown.

Example

Jindal Paper Cutting Machine

After selecting the machine, the system displays the production jobs available for that machine in the left panel.


Step 2: View Sales Order or Work Order Jobs

The left panel shows the jobs assigned to the selected machine.

Depending on the production process, the job may be linked with a Sales Order or a Work Order.

Step 3: Select the Required Item

A single Sales Order or Work Order may contain more than one item for production.

Click the required item from the left panel to view its related details on the right side.

Example

When PFDC00002 is selected, the right-side tabs display information related to this item, such as:

  • Input material issued for producing PFDC00002

  • Material still required to complete its production

  • Production entries already recorded for PFDC00002

The selected item card is highlighted, helping the user confirm which item details are currently being viewed.


Step 4: Use Job Status Filters

The status filters at the top of the left panel help users find jobs based on their production progress.
