Overview

This page is based on the attempt to understand ADempiere Libero Manufacturing module of the author. It will be illustrated as a step by step guide for the reader to have the FEEL of what Libero Manufacturing can do and how to do it. I am referring to the Manufacturing Management workshop conducted by Victor Perez some time back in 2009.

As such, this is by no mean the as the reference manual of Manufacturing Management in ADempiere and you can always find more reference from the original source in LIBERO

Short Summary about Manufacturing Process

Libero Manufacturing Process is the mean of producing new Product based on specified Bill of Material (BOM & Formula), Manufacturing Resources, Workflows (how to produce) and Distribution (where to deliver).

Product Planning Data is the master data that store the relationship between Product & BOM & Resource & Workflow, it also store the initial data about manufacturing process of each product, such as, Order Policy, Order Period, Batch Quantity, etc.

As soon as the relationship of how to produce a Product is defined, with out planning, we can create Manufacturing Order manually. We then use the Component Check process to verify and use Print and Release Order process to print out checklist for user on the field. Once completed, store can use Order Receipt & Issue to accepted the newly created products into warehouse.

Another option is to use MRP to automate the production with planning in mind. The Forecast window is used to store forecasting information (calculated outside ADempiere). Running MRP will lookup into the Forecast data and pending Sales Order and generate Manufacturing Order, Distribution Order, Purchase Requisition for the shortage products.


??? What is Calculate Low Level and Calculate Record MRP ???

Notes

Manufacturing Resources

  • The Resource Type is used to calculate the available time in a Manufacturing Resource. It allows input of starting time and end time for the slot according to the working days.
  • The Planning Horizon in Manufacturing resources is used for ???

Manufacturing Workflow

  • If the workflow name is the same as the product name this Workflow will be the default Workflow for the product.
  • The time constraint (i.e., Queuing Time, Waiting Time) in Manufacturing WF and Manufacturing Resource is different in that = ????
