Correcting a production entry in the Production Log

Production entries are never overwritten. Instead, you record a correction — an adjusting entry that points at the original — so the full history is preserved and the net quantity is always accurate.

Before you begin

  • The work order must be In Progress.
  • You can only correct an original production entry, not a correction of a correction. If you need a further adjustment, correct the original entry again.

Steps

  1. Open the work order and find the step you need to adjust.
  2. Click Report Production (or the step's completion button) to open the Complete Step dialog.
  3. Choose the radio optionA fix to what you told us — adjusts an earlier entry (the other option, "More output — its own batch and lot," logs new production instead of a correction)
  4. Select the original entry you are adjusting from the "Entry to correct" dropdown. The dropdown shows each correctable entry as its quantity and date, for example "2,550 units — 20/08/2026".
  5. Enter the adjustment quantity in the Adjustment field:
    • To add units (upward correction): enter a positive number, e.g. 50 if 50 more units were actually produced.
    • To remove units (downward correction): enter a negative number, e.g. -50 if 50 were incorrectly counted.
  6. Click Record Correction.

What happens

  • A new row is appended to the Production Log. It is marked as a correction and its note reads, for example: "Correction: -50 to the 2,550 reported 20 Aug 2026 · lot NURICO-2026-08-20" — identifying exactly what was adjusted and when.
  • The original entry is untouched.
  • All quantity totals (produced, remaining, etc.) reflect the net of the original plus the correction.
  • If the output SKU is lot-tracked, the correction inherits the same lot as the entry it adjusts, so Shipment Planning is not affected.
  • If a downward correction brings the produced total below the quantity already on transfer orders, you will see a warning toast telling you how many units are now in conflict. The entry still posts — resolve the transfer orders separately.

Reading corrections in the log

Correction rows display as "X removed by correction" (not as a negative number) with a distinct icon, so they are easy to distinguish from normal output entries. The note on each correction identifies the original entry's quantity and date.
