Supply period for production

[Artem Braga]

Hello. 

Is it possible to get some use case where supply period at Production Configuration could be used? I've read module documentation here: http://doc.tryton.org/4.2/modules/stock_supply_production/doc/index.html but the meaning of Supply Period is not so clear for me though. 

Thank you

Artem

You need to produce in advance because production takes times. And also
you may need to make production in cascade. So the system can not know
until which date in the future does it need to look to see what needs to
be produced. The period allow to define from now up to which date it
will look the stock levels.
So the period should depend on your production delays and the number of
cascading production you could have. But also you must not give a too
big number if you do not want to produce too much in advance.

Thanks for this detailed explanation. Regarding stock levels you mention here- do you mean stock levels of finished goods?

The system is going to create a forecast of stock quantities up to the
given date and then create the production request required in order to
satisfy the stock requirements (make the negative levels up to zero).
The stock levels means the stock quantities on the forecast date (today
+ supply period)

In Tryton, there is no such concept as "finished goods". There are only
means to get goods which could be by buying or producing or taking from
another location etc. So every goods in every storage location are being
tracked for supply.
