Skip to main content This page outlines how to run make-to-stock or make-to-order production with Sanka. Keep it simple: standardize masters, run work orders, and keep inventory and costs in sync.
What you can do
Register bills of materials (BOM) and required components per item
Issue production orders (work orders) and track status
Consume materials from inventory and record finished goods
Link production to procurement and quality steps
Monitor WIP, yield, and variances with dashboards
Typical flow
Prepare masters : set up Items (raw, WIP, finished), Locations, and BOM. Optional: add work centers via custom properties.Create a production order : define product, quantity, due date, and target warehouse. Use attachments for specs or SOPs.Issue materials : record material issues with Inventory Transactions; reserve stock to prevent double allocation.Record outputs : add produced quantity and scrap; move finished goods into inventory, optionally triggering quality checks.Close and review : mark the order completed, reconcile variances, and update dashboards for throughput/yield.
Setup tips
Keep BOM versions slim (one active per SKU) and add revision notes in memo fields.
Standardize location naming (plant/line/bin) so team members log transactions consistently.
Use properties to capture lot/serial, operator, shift, and machine where needed.
Review open/overdue work orders weekly; automate alerts with workflows if lead times slip.
