Builds
Builds track production runs. They connect BOMs to inventory, deducting parts as units are completed.
Go to Builds in the sidebar to see all builds.
Build Statuses
Section titled “Build Statuses”| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Draft | Created but not started |
| In Progress | Production is underway |
| Completed | All planned units are built |
| Reversed | Build was undone and inventory restored |
Creating a Build
Section titled “Creating a Build”- Click New Build.
- Select a product from the dropdown.
- Enter the planned quantity (how many units you intend to produce).
- Click Create.
The build starts in Draft status with a snapshot of the product’s BOM at the time of creation.
Build Detail Page
Section titled “Build Detail Page”Click a build to open the detail page. It has two tabs: Build Details and PCB View.
Recording Completion
Section titled “Recording Completion”Completion is incremental — you record batches as they are produced rather than all at once.
- In the Record Completion panel, enter the number of units completed in this batch.
- The field auto-suggests the remaining quantity.
- Click Record.
Each completion:
- Creates an entry in the Completion Events table
- Deducts the corresponding parts from inventory
- Updates the build’s completed quantity and progress
If any parts have insufficient stock, a warning is shown listing the affected parts. The completion still proceeds, but affected inventory quantities go to zero.
Completion Events Table
Section titled “Completion Events Table”An audit trail of all recorded completions:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Date | When the completion was recorded |
| Quantity | Number of units in this batch |
| User | Who recorded it |
Parts Table
Section titled “Parts Table”Shows the BOM snapshot for this build:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| MPN | Manufacturer part number |
| Description | Part description |
| Required | Total quantity needed (per-unit quantity x planned quantity) |
| On Hand | Current inventory at time of viewing |
| Shortfall | Difference between required and on-hand (negative = surplus) |
PCB View Tab
Section titled “PCB View Tab”Displays the interactive BOM (iBOM) if one is associated with the product’s BOM. Same functionality as the BOM editor PCB view.
Reversing a Build
Section titled “Reversing a Build”If a build was recorded in error, you can reverse it:
- Open the build detail page.
- Click Reverse Build.
- Confirm the action.
Reversing restores the consumed inventory. The build status changes to Reversed.
