Prerequisites
  • Items created with **Item Type = “Sub Assembly” **on Stock > Items > New Item
  • BOM defining subassembly components/operations (e.g., Dough Batch BOM = flour + water + yeast). Manufacturing > BOM > New
  • Dedicated stations for subassembly production (e.g., Mixing Station 1 for Valdana Bread dough)

​
Step-by-Step Guide

​
Step 1: Create Work Order for Subassembly

  1. Go to: Manufacturing > Work Order > New
  2. Configure:
    • Item: Select subassembly (e.g., “Pre-Mixed Oil”)
    • Quantity: Needed for parent production (e.g., 1,000L for Luca Oil batch)
    • Planned Start Date: Earlier than parent Work Order
    • Warehouse:
      • Source: Raw Material Warehouse (for components)
      • Target: Subassembly Stock (for finished subassembly)
  3. Link to Parent (Optional):
    • Add Parent Work Order field if creating manually
  4. Submit → Triggers Job Cards for operations

​
Step 2: Auto-Generate via Parent Work Order

For automatic nesting (recommended):
  1. In Parent Work Order (e.g., “Luca Engine Oil 5W-30”):
    • Enable Produce Subassemblies
  2. System auto-creates:
    • Subassembly Work Order for “Pre-Mixed Oil”
    • Dependency: Subassembly WO must complete before parent starts
  3. View nested WOs:
    • Subassemblies Table: Status, Quantity, Completion Date

​
Step 3: Track Subassembly Production

  1. Job Cards:
    • Update progress per operation (e.g., “Base Oil Mixing: 500L/1,000L”)
  2. Quality Checks:
    • Record defects (e.g., “Viscosity out of spec - 10L rejected”)
  3. Complete Subassembly WO:
    • Output moves to Subassembly Stock
    • Parent Work Order auto-unlocks when ready

​
Step 4: Consume in Final Assembly

  1. Auto-Consumption:
    • When parent Work Order starts, system pulls subassembly from Subassembly Stock
  2. Manual Transfer:
    • Create Stock Entry if not auto-consumed:
      • Purpose: Material Transfer
      • From: Subassembly Stock
      • To: Work-in-Progress Warehouse
