# Report production

As production personnel go through their processes to make and package the goods required for a production order, they report Anywhere Mobility Solutions additions, deletions, or other changes made to the original order. When finished, these changes are entered into the program.

Certain procedures may need to be performed on components before they are ready for use in production. In such a scenario, generate the necessary pre-process activities. Complete and register these activities before moving on to further production reporting.

The **Batch Reporting** page lets the manufacturer simultaneously report production data for a batch order and Anywhere Mobility Solutions related package orders. If an excess quantity of the intermediate item is produced, it can be sent to inventory. This process can also close the production order and update the unit cost. Lot information for consumed materials and produced finished goods may also be captured.

The **Process Reporting** page lets you create process orders for raw materials being processed into intermediate items and then stored in inventory. Similar to the **Batch Reporting** page, the **Process Reporting** page lets you capture lot information for consumed materials and the produced intermediate items.

The following table describes a sequence of activities, with links to the topics that describe them. These activities are listed in the order in which they are generally performed.
