Batch Post Output and Run Times

The output quantity represents the work progress in the form of the finished quantity and used capacity of work or machine center.

You can use the output journal to:

  • Adjust inventory in connection with output of finished items from production.
  • Register quantities and scrap for each operation in production routing.
  • Register setup and run time for work and machine centers.

[!NOTE] If production routing are used, the inventory is updated only when you post output quantity on the last operation.

With the Production Journal window, you can perform the same tasks as in the Output Journal window and at the same time perform the related consumption posting tasks. For more information, see Register Consumption and Output for One Released Production order line.
