Introduction
In the Platform under the Reporting tab there are two production pages the 'Production dashboard' and the 'Product workload' these are used for the planning of production and are based on the production time of each product and due dates on the orders.
Differences between the Production Dashboards
The production dashboard shows the amount of items on each batch template for production today, tomorrow and in the future along with any that are overdue.
Please note the number on the Production Dashboard can be clicked which will open up the specific production jobs into another window.
The Production Workload dashboard breaks down the exact time it will take for the total number of jobs on a batch template in for each day.
This dashboard will list a week worth of days from the date of which the dashboard has been loaded.
How do I use the dashboards?
To use the two dashboards there are a few thing that need to be set up on both the products and job templates
- Firstly on the product the 'Production Time (minutes)' must bill filled in as shown below on a product E-Commerce Info located on all products created.
- Secondly on the job templates they need to have 'Honour Order Required Dispatch Date' sider enabled as shown below.
Finally the orders need to have a 'Required Dispatch Date', if this is not added then all items will be added in to the today column on both dashboards. This has been shown below on an example order found within Sales > Order Manager which is an edited order within the "Shipping" details
