A Manufacturing Item specialized for an output of production. It can describe output quantity, role, and treatment, including outputs other than the main finished product.
When to use it
Use it when a production output needs an identifiable record.
Key information
- Estimated cost provides a planning value; distinguish it from a target or actual cost.
- Actual cost records the cost value entered for completed or observed work.
- Expected output quantity describes the planned amount of this production output.
Common relationships
- Catalog (Non-structure): Connects a Catalog to the product, sourcing, configuration, or document records included as its entries.
- Folder (Non-structure): Connects an eligible record to a Folder used to organize its information.
- Subscription (Non-structure): Connects an eligible record to a subscribing Person or organizational record. It records an interest in selected events or updates for that record.
Working with this record
Describe the output’s role and review expected quantity, unit of measure, disposition, and treatment. Keep the meaning of the output clear when reviewing production information.
Example
Recoverable Aluminum Offcuts is a Production Output associated with machining the housing.
Choosing the right type
Choose Production Output for an identifiable production result, including secondary outputs. Material identifies an input rather than the resulting output.
