Adrian, we link fixed assets between the applications with the fixed asset Id?
can we agree on that?

can you tell me where the fixed asset id is which I can select on this screen? https://backend.ofbizdemo.com/manufacturing/control/EditRoutingTaskFixedAssets?workEffortId=TASK02&USERNAME=admin&PASSWORD=ofbiz

perhaps i missed it, can you tell me where it is?

Regards,
Hans

I know what fixed assets are. OFBiz does all of the things you describe.

The screen in your link has nothing to do with accounting or asset maintenance. So, I don't understand how it demonstrates that fixed assets are not connected to accounting or asset maintenance.

Hi Adrian,

What are fixed assets in manufacturing: they are machines, tools etc owned by the manufacturer and available in limited quantities.

In order to be sure that these assets which are used in a production run are available at the time the production run is operating and that they are registered in accounting for depreciation and that they are maintained in asset maintenance.

you do not see that connection?

when not, can you tell me the difference between the fixed assets in manufacturing and the ones in accounting?

Hans

where you can enter fixed asset types without a fixed asset id.

What do you mean "there are fixed assets but they are not connected to the accounting system or asset maintenance"? Fixed assets are "connected" to both.

We are getting more requests to implement OFBiz for manufacturing companies.

In general they are pleased with the functionality except for the production planning which is missing. Further there are fixed assets but they are not connected to the accounting system or asset maintenance.

What is needed is a scheduler which plans the production runs looking at the last possible finish date and the available fixed assets (machines/equipment/tools) used in the runs.

Question to the community:
Anybody already looked into how to do the production planning in manufacturing?

Regards,
Hans
