Manufacturing: request, execution and stock
When manufacturing is available, separate planning from actual execution and material consumption. Sales-item settings do not replace manufacturing specifications or components.

Before you start
Select the correct company and verify permissions. Learn in a test workspace; posting or restoring can change actual data.
Workflow
- Check module activation and permissions, then review finished product, specifications and components.
- Create a request with quantities, dates and required details; review material needs and availability.
- Record actual execution in its dedicated workflow; specify consumed materials and output using available fields.
- Review warehouses, units, waste and cost where included before approval.
- Inspect material and finished-product movements; ensure consumption or output was not recorded twice.
Watch this distinction
Do not manually change balances to simulate unapproved production. Specialized factory workflows need setup and review for the actual operation.

Reopen the record and check saved values and state. For financial operations, compare the document with the relevant movement and report before continuing.
