Convert the invoice/sales order to a production plan
Instead of the traditional method that requires selecting the source (invoice or sales order) within the production plan screen, you can directly convert an invoice or sales order into a production plan with a single click from its screen. This simplifies the linkage between the “source,” “production plan,” “bill of materials,” and “manufacturing order.”
We will discuss all the details in this guide.
Convert the invoice to a production plan
Click on “Manage Invoices” under “Sales” in the main menu, then click on the invoice you want to convert into a production plan.
Click on the “Convert to Production Plan” button.
You will find that all the production plan information has been automatically chosen. You only need to enter the production plan name, select the date, and choose the bill of materials associated with the product specified in the invoice, in case the production plan for this product is not the default.
After saving the production plan, you will find that manufacturing orders associated with it have been automatically generated.
