Create Manufacturing Orders Automatically from Every POS Sale

When a made-to-order product is sold at the till, this module creates the Manufacturing Order for you — validated, linked, and ready for production, with zero extra clicks for your cashiers.

The problem

Point of Sale and Manufacturing don't talk to each other out of the box. A cashier can ring up a made-to-order item, but no Manufacturing Order is created — leaving the kitchen or production floor unaware of what to produce, and stock counts drifting from what was actually sold.

The solution

This module connects the two automatically. Every sale of a manufacturing-enabled product creates and confirms its Manufacturing Order on the server the moment the sale is validated — no cashier training, no elevated permissions, and no manual re-keying required.

Capabilities

Everything you need to connect POS and production

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

Automatic MO Creation

Every paid POS sale of a manufacturing-enabled product creates its Manufacturing Order the moment the order is validated — no manual step required.

02

Server-Side, No Elevated Rights

Manufacturing Orders are created with elevated permissions internally, so cashiers only ever need standard Point of Sale access — never Manufacturing rights.

03

Discoverable Per-Product Toggle

Enable POS-driven manufacturing right from the product form's Point of Sale tab, with plain-language help text explaining exactly what it does.

04

Pre-Sale Bill of Materials Check

Optionally block a sale before it finalizes when an enabled product has no Bill of Materials, so failures never surface after the fact.

05

Guided Remediation

A clear warning banner on the product form flags a missing Bill of Materials the moment the toggle is enabled, with a direct path to fix it.

06

Real-Time Production Status

A production-status badge and smart button on every POS order show at a glance whether manufacturing is pending, in progress, or done.

07

Two-Way Traceability

Smart buttons link every Manufacturing Order back to its originating POS order and back again, so troubleshooting never means digging through two disconnected systems.

08

Automatic Route Assignment

Enabling the toggle automatically assigns the Manufacture route to the product, removing a manual configuration step administrators often forget.

09

Production Team Notifications

Every Manufacturing Order created from a sale posts a chatter note and schedules a to-do activity for the responsible user, so production staff are notified instantly.

Workflow

How it works

1

Enable on the Product

Turn on "Create Manufacturing Order from POS" on any made-to-order product and add its Bill of Materials.

2

Sell as Usual

Cashiers ring up the sale exactly as they always do — no extra screens, no extra training.

3

Validate & Create

On payment, the system checks the Bill of Materials and creates (and optionally confirms) the Manufacturing Order automatically.

4

Track & Produce

Production staff are notified, and managers track status from either the POS order or the Manufacturing Order itself.

No. Manufacturing Orders are created server-side with elevated rights internally, so cashiers only need standard Point of Sale access.
