Add a New Production Ticket

Navigation › Production › Processing › Production Tickets

A production ticket allows you to add one or more finished good items to a production run. A production run is a multi-step process that ultimately consumes raw materials and consumables out of stock to create finished goods items into stock. This allows you to better manage the different stages of the workflow.

Before a production ticket can be created, the relevant inventory items and bill of materials must exist.

Note: This article focuses on the simplest common use case for creating a production ticket.
