Finishing production orders and labels

Three pages close the production loop: Finish External Processing, Finish Internal Processing, and Production Labels. Plus the optional auto-finish batch.

Workflow — manual finish

Open Finish Internal Processing (or External for subcontracted work).
Filter by production order or work centre.
Per routing line you see: needed quantity, picked quantity, at subcontractor, remaining.
Fill Finished Qty. with the actual output.
For lot-tracked output: fill the lot number.
Confirm. DXSteel posts the production journal and reduces the remaining quantity.

Workflow — auto-finish (batch)

The Auto Finish Production Orders report closes released production orders automatically per preconfigured rules:

Order must be Released.
Finished Qty. must meet the configured minimum.
No unresolved warnings/errors.

Schedule the report daily in the early morning.

Production Labels

Field	Purpose
No.	Auto-numbered label ID.
Prod. Order No. + Line No.	Reference.
Creation Date	When the label was generated.
No. Printed	Counter; incremented on each print.
Item No. + Description	Final product.
Variant Description	Size / quality.

Common errors

Message	Cause
"No label code set up for printing production labels"	No label code in setup.
"No production label found"	Routing line has no label record.
"Production Label Line not found"	Label detail missing.

Best practices

Print labels right after finishing the shopfloor session. Physical product without updated label = source of warehouse errors.

Enable Create pick on release of production order in Processing Setup. The warehouse is ready the moment production is released.

A lot-tracked routing line cannot be finished without a lot number. Always fill it before closing.

Production Order Routing Line Card.
Production Label List.
Routing per Location.
