How allocation works
When you confirm a production order, AADOPS reserves the required raw materials from your inventory. Reserved stock is subtracted from your available quantity — so it cannot accidentally be sold at the POS or transferred to another location while production is in progress.
Viewing allocated materials
Open the production order from Producer → Production orders. The materials section shows each raw material, the quantity allocated, and its source warehouse location.
If stock is insufficient after confirmation
If raw material stock falls short after a production order is confirmed — because stock was adjusted or lost — the production order detail page highlights the shortfall. You have two options:
- Purchase the missing material — raise a purchase order for the shortfall, receive the goods, and the allocation updates automatically
- Reduce the production quantity — edit the production order to match the available material quantity
Releasing unused allocation
If you produce fewer units than planned — due to machine breakdown, quality issues, or a decision to stop early — you can record the actual quantity produced when closing the order. Unused allocated materials are automatically returned to your available inventory.
