Finishing Inventory

Process Definition:

The Input Production process allows users to finish materials on active production Jobs and print Job labels, if necessary, for the material being finished.

There are two methods to finishing inventory:

  • Input Production – this method is mainly used by individuals whose main job function is to input production values and for companies that perform incremental finishing.
    • Ease of use for real time finishing.
  • Close/Relieve – this method is mainly used by individuals who wear many hats (production, quality, etc.) and for companies that split lot at the time of finishing.
