# Manufacturing processes

The execution of a production order in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central has two types of actions:

- Consumption of components (items)
- Output registration of labour/machines and finished quantities

The Consumption Journal manually posts consumption to production orders. In a consumption journal, enter the relevant information such as the posting date, production order number, item number, and quantity.

The Output Journal posts setup and/or run times of work and machine centers, plus the finished quantity for each operation. The Manufacturing pre-configured processes support the created item journal lines for both the consumption and output registration, including the posting of each registration.

> [!NOTE]
> The prerequisites for both Manufacturing Integration. Consumption and Manufacturing Integration. Output are the same.
