How to setup operations in BoM?

What are operations?

BoM Operations are a series of steps that are required to manufacture a product. Each operation is performed by a specific work center. Operations enable you to have better control of the manufacturing process and help you track the progress of a manufacturing order and easily identify bottlenecks.

How to set up Operations?

Configuration

To use routing, you must enable the Work Orders setting from the Manufacturing -> Configuration -> Settings menu and click on the Save button.

Setting up work centers

Once you have enabled the setting, go to MRP -> Configuration -> Work centers to Create the work centers that will be used in the Operations. Click on Save when done. Each work center represents a station (comprised of workers and/or machines.) A work center is used for costing, scheduling, capacity planning, etc.

Setting up Operations

To set up Operations, go to MRP -> Products-> Bill of Materials and click on the Create button to create a new BoM or select an existing one. Use the Operations tab to define the operations for the BoM. For each operation that you set up in the BoM, a work order will automatically be created when a manufacturing order that uses the BoM is confirmed.

You can attach PDF worksheets or Google slides in the WorkSheet tab while setting up an operation. Worksheets attached to an operation are displayed to the user in the work order form.
