Production

The Production page plans manufacturing: which SKUs to produce, on which lines, at which locations, and when. It combines runs already underway, your committed run schedule, and the solver’s suggested runs in one surface. Navigate to Production under the Supply Chain group in the sidebar. The page header shows the plan freshness indicator (“Plan as of…”).

​

The production lens

Production carries its own two-axis lens strip instead of the shared four-position scenario strip:

• Base — the standing position the schedule is read against: In progress (real supply only) or Committed (in progress plus your accepted commitments).
• Compare — the recommendation world overlaid on the base: With recs (the solver’s plan) or No input limits (the counterfactual where no production stage is constrained by its inputs).

No input limits is served from its own paired solve; when it isn’t selectable, the position stays visible and states the specific reason (not enabled, never solved, no comparison produced, or unreadable). When it’s active, a stamp shows when the counterfactual was solved. If you arrive from another planning page, a notice explains what carried over — other pages set Base only, and the comparison choice stays on Production.

​

Tabs

​

Shared controls

One toolbar drives all three tabs:

• Search — by SKU name or code, location, or line.
• Filter chips — add filters via the Add filter popover; Clear all resets them.
• Date range picker — with Weekly/Monthly granularity; shown on Schedule and Worksheet (the flat List has no time axis).
• Saved views — round-trip filters, grouping, sort, and granularity.
• Create run — on the Schedule tab, for users with planning write access. Opens the create drawer, prefilled with the cell’s node, line, SKU, and period when opened from a schedule cell.
• Table settings — grouping, sort, Qty/$ display, an In-progress toggle (“Open orders / runs already underway”), a Recommendations toggle (“The solver’s suggested runs”), and Export CSV (production-runs.csv). On the Worksheet, a Rec timing control buckets recommendations by Landing date (arrival bucket) or Order date (order bucket).

​

The run drawer

Clicking a run from the Schedule or List opens the run drawer. A schedule cell can bundle several runs (committed and suggested); the drawer shows them all in a “runs in this period” table with:

• Per-run detail and daily breakdown.
• An inline edit affordance on committed runs — the route to the editable run form from multi-run cells.
• Raw-material coverage tinting on committed rows.
• Accept, Dismiss (“Removed from queue for 14 days.”), and Restore on suggested runs — the standard recommendation lifecycle.

​

Raw-material coverage

The drawer’s raw-material coverage section shows the projected inventory status of every SKU in the run’s BOM at the run’s period, with required quantities. Short components get an inbound-supply sub-line — for example “1,200 arriving by Aug 12 · 300 in transit”, or “Nothing inbound” — so a shortfall covered by incoming POs is distinguished from a real one. Coverage is identical for committed and suggested runs; it’s read from the solver projections either way.

​

Why-no-production attribution

A demand-bearing cell the plan schedules no production for can be opened too: the attribution drawer explains why — the run is material-bound (an input is short) or capacity-bound (the line is saturated). From there, Create run anyway opens the create drawer prefilled with the cell’s node, line, SKU, and period, so you can overrule the solver deliberately.

​

Creating and editing runs

• Create run (toolbar) or Create run anyway (attribution drawer) opens the production create drawer. Creating requires planning write permission; a dirty form guards against accidental close.
• Committed runs are edited through the shared movement drawer, and Order converts a committed run into a real production transaction at the run’s node — reserving its BOM components — via a confirmation dialog. See Execution plan.
