Details |
|
| Asset | The asset used to manufacture or assemble the products that make up the production batch. |
| Product | The product that is to be manufactured or assembled in the production batch. Note: The lookup list only displays products that have been linked to the selected asset or asset type. |
| Production Rate | The rate at which the asset is able to manufacture or assemble the product included in the production batch. The rate is specified as the number of units per second, and it defaults to the product's production rate. For example, if an asset takes 4 seconds to manufacture a product, the Production Rate is 0.25. |
| Production Order Number | The unique order number used to identify the production batch. |
| Status | Indicates the production batch's current state. For example, the status could be used to indicate whether the production batch is scheduled, in progress, or complete. |

| Conversion Factor | The number that the Measure Unit must be multiplied by to calculate the Report Unit. This is only required if the Measure Unit and Report Unit are different. For example, if the Measure Unit is grams and the Report Unit is kilograms, the Conversion Rate is 1000. |
