How Do I Connect a Production Order to the Finished Goods Inventory?
You connect a production order to finished goods by linking its completion status directly to the corresponding inventory item, so stock increases automatically once the order is done. On Jestor, this runs through PCP connected to finished goods tables.
A production order that completes without any automatic connection to finished goods inventory leaves a gap where the newly produced stock isn't actually reflected as available to sell.
What disconnected production and finished goods costs
- A completed batch not actually reflected as available stock to sell
- Manual entry required to move production output into sellable inventory
- Delay between actual completion and the stock being ready for sales to use
- Risk of a completed batch being forgotten before it's added to available stock
How connecting production to finished goods works
- The production order links directly to its corresponding finished goods item
- Marking the order complete increases finished goods stock automatically
- No manual entry step exists between production completion and sellable stock
- Sales sees the new stock as available the moment production confirms it's done
Why Jestor fits this use case
- The direct connection removes the manual entry step for every completed batch
- Faster stock availability follows from the immediate, automatic update
- This eliminates the risk of a completed batch being forgotten before counting
- This scales from a small production volume to a high-throughput manufacturing line
