# Report process production

As production is completed, record the raw materials consumed and the products produced. Posting this information automatically updates the inventory.

## Steps

1. In the search box, enter **Process Reporting**, and then choose the related link.
2. In the **Process Order No.** field, enter the production order number you want to report on.

The **Process Reporting** page displays the entered production order's input and output item in the area below the **Process Order No.** field, along with this order's expected output and consumption in the other tables.
3. In the **Production Date** field, enter a posting date to apply to all lines. The work date is entered as a default. This field provides a quick way to align posting dates on all lines.

When a process production order is entered in the **Process Reporting** page, the program presets the output and consumption quantities. If nothing has been posted yet, all quantity fields contain the expected quantities from the production order. If partial postings have been made, the quantity fields on the lines are set to zero.
4. Enter actual output and consumption quantities and Anywhere Mobility Solutions related information (such as lot number) in the fields for the process production order.
5. If materials other than those displayed were consumed, enter them in the consumption table.
6. On the **Actions** tab, in the **General** group, choose **Post**.
7. Indicate whether you want to finish the production order or leave it open for additional posting, then choose **OK**.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> - If the current on-hand quantity of an item being consumed is less than the amount entered in the **Process Reporting** page, the program does not post the production order.
> - Finishing a production order is an irreversible process. Once a production order is finished, no additional output or consumption can be reported against it. Do not instruct the system to finish a production order unless you are certain that it requires no additional reporting.
