How do I setup Stock for MRP?

This is probably one of the most complicated parts of the system. However, setup correctly, everything will run smoothly.

Job Card

Before we create the Stock Records, we need to understand how their settings contribute to the resulting Job Card, so first of all, we must understand the Job Card.

Header Details

• Job Card No
  • This field is nice and simple, it's the Numeric value given to the Job Card by the system.
• Tool No
  • This field is drawn from the "Tool" assigned to the Product being made in this Job Card.
• Tool Location
  • This field is drawn from the "Tool Stock Record", using the "Default Bin" for it.
• C/Insert Rqd
  • This field is drawn from the Product being made in this Job Card, Manufacturing tab -> "Change Insert/s Required" -> Yes/No
• C/Insert No
  • If the "C/Insert Rqd" field is "Yes", then the SKU is pulled from the Manufacturing tab -> "Change Insert/s Required" -> SKU.
• Machine
  • This field is drawn from the Machines assigned to the Stock Record from the Manufacturing tab -> "This Stock Record is assigned to the following Machines" section.
• Linked Job Cards
  • If the Product is also a "Pack", it grabs the associated Job Numbers from the rest of the items which make up a pack.
  • If the Product is part of a "Pack", it grabs the associated "Master Product" and displays that Job Number as well.
• Golden Sample Location
  • This field is drawn from the Product being made in this Job Card, Manufacturing tab -> "Golden Sample Location"
• Image
  • If there is an image uploaded to the stock record, this will be used here.
