Create a production order from a run

You get a draft production order for one maker, with lines from the run and their prices.

Before you start

  • The run has a plan, and To order in Run plan shows pieces left to order.
  • The maker's card in Contacts → Manufacturers offers the service you order, for example sewing.

Create the draft order

  1. 1In Production → Production Runs, open the run and go to Run plan. Tick the variants that have pieces in To order. In the bar above the table, click Create order. The Create production order panel opens with the run, the number of variants and the pieces.
    The bar above the table counts the ticked rows.
  2. 2Pick the maker in Maker. Under Prices, Show prices to the maker is on. Choose whether the maker sees your prices:

    You already agreed prices with the makerLeave “Show prices to the maker” onThe maker sees your prices in the order
    You want the maker to quoteTurn “Show prices to the maker” offThe maker gets the order without prices and proposes its own
    • Click Create order · 2 pcs. The message reads “PO-117 created as a draft”, and the draft card opens.
    Maker is the only field you must fill in. The button counts the pieces in the draft.
  3. 3In Items, type the price of each line in Price and press Enter. Change a number in Ordered the same way. Each value saves as soon as you press Enter.

Check the result

The draft card shows Draft and the order number. A notice says the maker gets the order only after you send it. Send to maker stands next to it. Items show the prices you typed.

Other situations

Split a size between two makers

Use this when one maker makes only part of the pieces.

  1. 1In the Create production order panel, under Quantities, type fewer pieces in This order. The rest stays in To order on the run.
  2. 2Create the second order from the same run and pick the other maker.

Add pieces to a draft that already exists

Use this when the run already has a draft for this maker.

  1. 1In Run plan, tick the variants and click Add to order in the bar.
  2. 2Pick the draft from the list. The message reads “2 pcs added to the order”. A variant already in the draft adds up in the same line.
Next
  • Send a production order to a maker — the maker gets nothing until you send the draft.
  • Agree who supplies fabric and trims — check who supplies what before you send the draft.
  • Ask a maker for a quote — when you do not know the sewing price yet.
