Goal

Report time and material consumption for each operation using planning cards. This ensures correct time registration, accurate stock updates, and a smooth handover to the next production step.

Procedure

Step 1: Open the Planning card tab

Open the Planning card tab in the Production area.

Step 2: Find the correct job

Search the list or use the search box. You can enter an order number or order name from orders, a customer, or an operation name.

Step 3: Review the operations and their status

On the selected order, all operations are listed with their current status. The status shows if an operation is ready, can be started, production has started, production is in progress, or the operation is completed.

Step 4: Open the planning card

Click the row for the operation to open its planning card.

Do not click the blue texts. They are links to other pages and will take you away from the planning card.

Step 5: Start the job

The planning card shows estimated time for Intake and Production, and the calculated material quantities. When you begin work on the operation, click "Start".

Step 6: Finish the job

When the job is complete, click "Finish". A dialog opens on the planning card.

Step 7: Check calculated values and enter Delivered

The dialog shows the planned scope, for example: Intake time (e.g., 70 min), Production time (e.g., 84.12 min), and material consumption (e.g., 65 sheets for setup and 500 sheets for production). In the "Delivered" field, enter how many good sheets go to the next operation. If everything is correct, click "OK".

Step 8: Correct Intake time if needed

If the actual Intake (setup) time is different, overwrite the Intake time field with the correct minutes.

Step 9: Correct Production time if needed

If the actual Production time is different, overwrite the Production time field with the correct minutes.

Tip: After typing a value, press Tab to move to the next field quickly. Example: type 70 and press Tab.

Step 10: Correct material consumption if needed

In the Article report section, you can overwrite the quantities for Setup (intake) and Production with the actual number of sheets used. This reduces stock by the consumed sheets and removes the reserved quantity for this job.

Changing material quantities directly affects inventory and reservations. Make sure your entries are accurate.

If you use fewer sheets than estimated, the balance returns to stock. When the entire order is completed, any remaining reserved sheets are registered back into stock.

Step 11: Review stock movements

Open the Inventory log tab on the planning card to see how much material has been issued to this job.
