Production Settings
Managing production settings and defaults in Supply'd optimises production runs, reduces errors, and improves efficiency, leading to cost savings and faster output.
Production Settings allow you to manage and streamline your manufacturing or production processes within Supply’d. By configuring these settings, you can control how products are produced, track labour and costs, manage production batches, and ensure accurate inventory allocation.
In Production Settings you can set production defaults and preferences, such as, assigning batches, default allergens, production locations, batch code formats, and labour tracking. You also have the option of creating your own custom fields to suit your company's requirements.
Properly configured Production Settings help ensure your production operations run smoothly, with accurate cost tracking and efficient resource management.
This document will guide you through applying settings for:
