Products on Order Not Appearing in Enter Production

Problem

When on the Enter Production screen, the product is not showing up on an expected day even though the product is on order. 

Cause/Solution

The product lead time is set to 0.

Update the Product lead time. 

Products with a lead time of 0 will not reflect on the Enter Production screen. For items produced on the same day as delivery, the lead time should be set as 1 and the 'assume production and delivery dates are the same' preference should be enabled.

1. Access the Inventory Centre then click Maintain Products.
2. Find and double click the product to open it or click on it once to select it and click Edit at the bottom of the screen.
3. Click on the Production tab of the product.
4. In the Lead Time field enter 1.
5. Click OK to save.

7. Click on the Production tab of the preferences.
8. Check the box Assume production and delivery dates are the same.
9. Click OK to save.

The product lead time is different than expected.

Products will populate on the Enter Production screen based on the Ship Date of the Sales Order minus the product Lead Time.

The preference 'Assume Production and Delivery Dates are the Same' is enabled.

This system preference effectively updates product lead times to be minus 1 day. (eg. A 1 day lead time = 0 day lead time, 2 day lead time = 1 day lead time, etc.)

Disable this system preference

1. On the top Menu Bar click Administration then FlexiBake Preferences.
2. Click on the Production tab of the preferences.
3. Uncheck the box Assume production and delivery dates are the same.
