the process plan is selected
the default storage bin that is used for the product is defined in the Purchasing tab

Execution
Sales staff enter Sales Order for the product with the quantity required and the date by when it needs to be delivered. If the product is not in stock, it needs to be produced.
Also if the stock level is below the safety stock level, products have to be produced.
The information about the demand from sales orders and safety stock is handled in 2 ways:
automatically in MRP
manually by a production manager
Ideally the information is handled by MRP. If not, a production manager reviews if production of the product is required by reviewing the total demand:
the outstanding sales orders
the safety stock level
and compare it with the total supply:
the stock level
scheduled Work Requirements
If the demand is higher than the supply, or the dates of scheduled Work Requirements are not matching the dates of the outstanding sales orders, the product needs to be produced and
a production manager executes:
review of the stock of the raw material. If needed the raw material will be requested used the procurement management process.
entry of the Work Requirement for the required quantity with the required quantity and the planned date
generate Work Efforts from the Work Requirement.
The staff responsible for executing the production can see on the Production Run Status Report what production has to be executed.
At the end of each shift, the production managers enter the information of what is produced in the Production Run screen.
Finance staff can calculate the actual cost of the production for the product.
