Shop floor production setup

The following steps outline the shop floor production setup.

1. Select the Search icon , enter Shop Floor Production Setup, and then choose the related link.
2. You can set up how a lot number will be assigned to the output lines of a production order when an output is registered on the Shop Floor Production Power App. On the General FastTab, in the Lot No. Per field, choose the relevant option from the dropdown:
   • Production Order: The same lot number will be assigned to all output lines in the production order.
   • Output Journal: A different lot number will be assigned to each output line in the production order.
   • User Defined: This method offers more flexibility. You can manually change the suggested lot number on the Register Output page using the Generate new lot no. button.

   Note

   If the Manual Nos. checkbox is selected on the No. Series page of the lot number setup, users can manually edit the lot number on the Register Output page in the Shop Floor Production Power App.

3. Enter the Date Formula Show Prod. Orders field with the period length. It shows the period length of the production orders to send to the Shop Floor Production. If the field is not filled, the period length of the production orders to send to the Power App will be the system date puls one day. This field specifies the period length in which the production orders should be sent to the Shop Floor Production Power App. Here, you can work with the same date formulas as known within Dynamics 365 Business Central. If this field is not filled, the period length of the production orders to be sent to the Power App is the system date + 1 day.
4. In the Job Queue Category Code field, choose the code from the dropdown menu which is used for the Job Task that creates the Quality Checks.
