This reference provide technical details on the fields, statuses, and accounting configuration for the Manufacturing (MRP) module.

1. Manufacturing Order (MO) Statuses

Defined in ManufacturingOrderStatus Enum:

Status	Meaning	Operational Impact
Draft	Planning stage	Can edit BOM, quantities, and dates. No stock reservation.
Confirmed	Ready to produce	Components are reserved. Production can be started.
In Progress	Manufacturing started	Components can be consumed. Work orders become active.
Done	Production complete	Finished goods received. Components consumed. Accounting entry posted.
Cancelled	Aborted	Reservations released. Work orders cancelled.

Defined in WorkOrderStatus Enum:

Status	Meaning	Requirement
Pending	Waiting for previous step	Cannot start until preceding operations are "Done".
Ready	Prerequisites met	Work center and materials are available.
In Progress	Work active	Timer is running to track actual duration.
Done	Step finished	Operation completed. Costing recorded.
Cancelled	Operation skipped	Work no longer required.

Type	Description	Best For
Normal	Standard assembly	Products requiring manual or machine work steps.
Phantom	Virtual grouping	Logistics grouping of components that don't need a separate MO.
Kit	Sales/Shipping set	Selling multiple products under one SKU (e.g., a Gift Set).

The system generates these entries upon Manufacturing Order completion:

Transaction	Debit	Credit
Production Completion	Finished Goods Inventory	Raw Materials Inventory
Work Center Overhead	Work in Progress (WIP)	Factory Overhead (Applied)

Parameter	Meaning	Impact
Efficiency	Factor of time usage	200% = 2x faster than standard.
Capacity	Units per time	Determines scheduling constraints.
OEE	Overall Equipment Effectiveness	Metric for availability, performance, and quality.
Cost per Hour	Monetary rate	Calculates labor/overhead cost of the product.
