Production Management
The Production Management dashboard for Sage 100 North America shows active work orders, overdue production, remaining quantities, completion levels, and make to order activity. It combines top level production KPIs with backlog, status, finished item, and late order analysis. Use this dashboard to monitor production workload, identify overdue work orders, and understand which finished items account for the largest outstanding quantities.
The top row summarizes the current production position, including the number of active and overdue orders, total remaining quantity, average completion percentage, and the proportion of make to order activity. The charts below explain where the backlog sits, how orders are distributed by status and production type, and which finished items contribute most to the workload. The detail worksheet provides the work order records behind the late and overdue totals.
