A production process finishes. What can you do to add the finished goods to inventory? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.

Question

Options

• AFrom the context menu of the Production Order choose Report Completion
• BChange the Production Order status to released
• CAdd a Receipt from Production document for the Production Order
• DClose the Production Order

• A
  69% (20)
• B
  21% (6)
• D
  10% (3)

Explanation

Reporting Completion (A) and creating a Receipt from Production document (C) are the two actions that actually trigger the inventory posting, recording the finished goods as stock in the system. These are the formal mechanisms that update inventory quantities - one via a context menu shortcut, the other via an explicit goods receipt document.

Why B is wrong: Changing the status to Released authorizes production to begin; it has no effect on inventory and does not indicate the order is finished.

Why D is wrong: Closing a Production Order finalizes and archives it, but closing alone does not post finished goods to inventory - the receipt must happen before or at closure.

Memory tip: Think "goods in = receipt." Any time finished goods enter inventory, there must be a receiving action - either Report Completion (quick method) or Receipt from Production (explicit document). Status changes and closing are administrative actions, not inventory postings.
