manufacturingOrdersCreate

Creates a Draft manufacturing order with copied BOM lines.

Business Rules​

  • The building, outputs, and revisions must belong to the company.
  • Outputs are optional. A Draft order can be saved without products and have them added later; it cannot be allocated until it has at least one.
  • The order number is generated from the company's manufacturing order number template when omitted. manufacturingOrderNextNumber suggests one to show in advance; a number already taken is refused.
  • Component costs follow the chosen source and fallback rule.
  • Each output’s labor and packaging amounts start at the product’s latest per-unit labor and packaging costs times the planned quantity. A cost the product does not have stays blank.
  • The lot number is trimmed, and a blank one is stored as null. It can be up to 100 characters, and instructions up to 20,000.
  • Expected Completion cannot be before Expected Start.
  • Both manufacturing and supply chain entitlements are required.

Error Scenarios​

  • “Manufacturing orders are not enabled for this company”
  • “Manufacturing order number must be 40 characters or fewer.”
  • “Manufacturing order number MFG-2026-0001 is already used. Enter a different number.”
  • “SKU: the planned quantity cannot be negative.”
  • “SKU can’t be both made and used on one manufacturing order.”
  • “Lot number must be 100 characters or fewer.”
  • “Instructions must be 20,000 characters or fewer.”
  • “Expected Completion can’t be before Expected Start.”
  • “parsec” isn’t a unit we recognize. (Units are matched by name, label, or symbol, ignoring case.)
