There are different function to post production order output:

Some companies only require a very simple system to define the output and scrap quantities, and the product lot number.

For these needs, we created a new simplified production order output page, available from the menu and optimized to use with the web and tablet client.

A simplified item journal needs to be created in the table item journal templates.

Also a batch needs to be added for this Item Journal, we do this by going to the navigate tab on the template list.

A new page is made available in Business Central called Simplified Output Journal.

Now a whole flow for the output journal is described, so all the functionalities of the Simplified Output Journal are explained:

  • All the released production orders will be shown in the Simplified Output Journal.

  • The production order is now visible in the simplified Output Journal
