Inventory and Work Orders
Raw material inventory can be allocated at different times in the life cycle of a work order. You can choose to automatically allocate work order components when work orders are initially entered. Alternatively, you can manually allocate work orders using the Allocate Work Order Components screen. The decision regarding the allocation of work orders is important. If work orders are entered but not put into production for a long period of time and you are automatically allocating components, this will prematurely trigger order points in Purchasing and needlessly tie up capital in your inventory.

Bill of Materials and Work Orders
The Production module is closely integrated with the Bill of Materials module in that most work orders are to build parent items with the bill of material specifying the component raw materials. You can also create work orders that do not reference a bill of material and enter your own components for the work order. If a valid bill of material exists for an item, the components for the work order are automatically taken from the bill of material down to the level specified on the Production Setup screen. The Bill of Materials manual has more detailed information on bills of material.
Work Order Data Flow
Work orders can be the result of customer orders or manually entered via the Work Order Entry/Query screen. Once a work order has been created, components are allocated and released to production. Component allocation is optional. Various reports such as component pick lists and open work order reports can be printed. When production has finished a work order, the work order is closed and finished goods are placed in inventory.
