• Monitor the production progress and make adjustments as necessary.

Step 4: Complete the Production Order

• Once production is finished, return to the production order in SAP Business One.
• Update the status to “Completed” to finalize the order.
• Review production costs and compare them against the original estimates.
• Generate any required reports for internal review or client delivery.

Step 5: Manage Production Resources

• Navigate to the Resource Management section in SAP Business One.
• Review the availability and allocation of production resources (e.g., machinery, labor).
• Adjust scheduling and deployment of resources based on production needs and timelines.
• Ensure all resources are utilized efficiently to optimize production output.

Step 6: Customer Order Delivery

• After completion, prepare the finished Beachcruisers for delivery.
• Use the UNIORG smart MDE app to manage inventory and track delivery status.
