Produced quantity
6 kits
Record the assembly output and its destination bin through the supported workflow.
CAPABILITIES / MANUFACTURING & PRODUCTION
Connect the materials.
Follow the build.
Bring assembly definitions, work orders, station queues, and work in process into one connected production workflow.
PARTS → PRODUCTION → OUTPUT Illustrative workflow
Follow an assembly through its stations. Your routing and inventory posting follow your configured process.
MANUFACTURING & PRODUCTION
Find the tools
behind each handoff.
Start with the materials, follow the work through production, and connect the result to inventory.
BILLS OF MATERIALS & ASSEMBLIES
Make the component needs
part of the build.
ORCA supports component definitions, assembly work, and material planning. Configured workflows connect required materials to available inventory and the work being prepared.
- 01
Define the components
Associate component items and units with the assembly.
- 02
Review material needs
Use supported material planning and availability views before creating or releasing work.
- 03
Handle materials in the workflow
Record component picking, returns, or scrap through the applicable assembly process.

WORK ORDERS & STATION QUEUES
Show what is ready
and what is waiting.
Manufacturing boards organize work by production station and process step. Work-order cards can show remaining quantities, due dates, and whether a step is waiting for an earlier operation.
EXPLORE A STATION QUEUE Illustrative work order · WO-2048
READY TO START
Give the first station a clear next step.
WO-2048 calls for 20 kits. Preparation is ready; downstream work remains waiting for its earlier operation.
Select a station to explore the example. These controls explain the workflow; they do not change a work order.
WORK IN PROCESS
See where work sits
before it becomes finished stock.
Explore work in process by step, SKU, station, or employee. Expand a SKU to inspect work orders, batches, and station detail, and narrow the view by location or process step.
Where timing data is recorded, aging views help identify work to investigate. Untracked or imported history may have an unknown age.
SAMPLE PRODUCTION SNAPSHOT 20 kits across the workflow
Illustrative quantities at distinct stages, not a live report. Recorded output is not necessarily posted stock.
10 KITS IN ASSEMBLY
Find the work behind the number.
Move from an item summary to its work orders, batches, and stations. Give the team a specific place to investigate the next handoff.
Explore production visibility →PRODUCTION & INVENTORY
Connect recorded output
to the next stage.
Assembly workflows support recording produced quantities and the destination bin. Component handling, lot requirements, routing completion, and finished-inventory posting depend on the configured process.
Configured completion
Follow routing, lot requirements, and completion rules for this process.
Finished inventory
FINISHED GOODS BIN FG-01
Post finished stock at the point defined by your inventory and completion policy.
Illustrative handoff. Recording output and posting finished inventory can be separate steps.
LABOR & REPORTING
Bring the work and its context together.
Where configured, recorded time can connect to production work. Reporting options help review production activity alongside the operational record.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Fit the workflow
to the way you manufacture.
Can we see work by station?
Yes. Configured stations and process steps organize the manufacturing board, while work-in-process views provide additional ways to inspect production.
Are material shortage views available everywhere?
Shortage tools depend on the enabled manufacturing and inventory workflow. We’ll review your configuration before defining the material-check process.
When does production become finished inventory?
The posting point depends on the configured assembly and completion policy. Recording output and completing a routed work order can be distinct steps.
Can labor be connected to production?
Supported time workflows can associate recorded time with production work. The available detail depends on configuration and how time is recorded.
BUILT AROUND YOUR BUSINESS
Build software around the way you build products.
Show us your stations, routing, material handling, and completion rules. We can scope specialized production workflows, interfaces, and reporting alongside the ORCA capabilities that already fit.
