Manage production movements in BRAINR (Web + Mobile) to keep production and inventory tracking accurate.• Record and review movements for production, raw materials/consumptions, scrap/by-products, and reversals. • Reverse movements when needed to correct quantities and maintain traceability.
Important Notes
Available products and consumptions depend on the Technical Production List (BOM) of the Production Version of the order.
If the order is eligible, Automatic Consumptions can generate expected consumption quantities automatically from the BOM.
On Mobile, only raw material reversals are available.
During a Raw Material Reversal on Mobile, the error “Inconsistent Weight” appears if the quantity to reverse exceeds the recorded consumption.
Web interface
Viewing Movements
From the Homepage, open the Production Orders module (or another specific production area module).
View orders in statuses: Open, In Progress, Paused, Completed, or Finished.
Closed orders are available in the Production History section.
Open a production order and go to the Movements tab to review all recorded movements.
Adding Production and Consumptions
In the Movements tab, manage all inputs/outputs. Use the All tab to view everything, or switch to specific tabs: Production Entry, Subproduct Entry, Raw Material Consumption, Raw Material Breakdown, or Non-Conforming Entry.
Movement Types
Production Entry: Record the output of finished goods. The available products are those defined in the Technical Production List (BOM), including any approved substitutes for the selected Production Version. The batch/lot can be selected from existing ones or created as new, supporting full traceability and finished stock management.
Subproduct Entry: Record entries for by-products generated during the production process, such as reusable or recoverable waste. Only by-products defined in the Technical Production List (BOM) of the Production Version can be selected. Each record can use an existing batch/lot or create a new one, maintaining accurate tracking of derived materials.
Raw Material Consumption: Record the consumption of raw materials used during production. The Technical Production List (BOM) defines which materials are valid for selection. Only existing batches/lots can be used, ensuring consistency with inventory and stock records.
Raw Material Breakdown: Record material losses or waste that occurred during production. Only existing batches/lots can be selected, ensuring that all scrap is traceable and linked to previously recorded consumptions.
Non-Conforming Entry: Record products identified as non-conforming during or after production. These items can be directed for rework or other corrective actions. The batch/lot can be created as new or selected from existing ones, depending on the required level of traceability.
Step-by-Step: Add a Movement
In the Movements tab of a production order, click the + Add button.
Select the desired document type (e.g., Production, Raw Materials, Scrap).
You'll either be redirected to the full movement page or a modal will open to choose from existing documents of that type.
On the movement page:
Left panel: Lists available products (for production, consumption, etc. depending on the document type selected), with columns showing expected quantities, already moved amounts and differences.
Right panel: Displays pickings added to the document, including details like product, quantity moved, weight, batch, SCCC, and warehouse.
Click Save to confirm or Cancel to discard. Recorded movements contribute to progress and yield calculations.
Adding a Non-Conforming Entry
When registering a non-conforming entry, the system may require a reason depending on how the document type has been configured. Certain document types are set up to mandate justification, the document cannot be created until a reason is provided.
On the Non-Conforming Entry tab within the Movements section, click the + Add Nonconformance button.
A Related Documents modal appears, listing any existing non-conformance documents linked to this production order. You can either:
Select an existing document and click Continue, or
Click Create New to generate a new document.
If the document type being created is configured to require justification, a second modal will appear asking: “What is the reason for this movement?”
This means the document type works with mandatory reasons, the system cannot create the document without a justification. Select the appropriate reason from the dropdown and click Create to proceed.
Reversing Production Movements
There are two ways to reverse movements: single (full or partial) or bulk (full reversal only).
Reverse a Single Movement (Full or Partial)
Bulk Reverse Movements (Full Reversal Only)
Reopening Movement Documents
Movement documents can be reopened when adjustments or corrections are needed, but only under specific conditions.
To reopen a movement document
Ensure the document is in Done status. Only completed documents can be reopened.
Verify that none of its lines have been reversed, either partially or fully.
Confirm that the document has not been integrated with an RP. Once integrated, reopening is no longer possible.
Make sure the document does not serve as a reversal for another one. Documents involved in reversal relationships cannot be reopened.
Open the Production Order details and go to the Documents tab.
Select the movement document you want to reopen.
Open the context menu (right-click or use the options button) and choose Reopen.
After this action, the document status changes from Done to In progress, allowing you to make the necessary modifications.
Mobile interface
Viewing and Adding Movements
On the Homepage, open View Production Orders in the Production Orders section.
The module lists all orders In Progress. Use filters to navigate by departments.
Select an order and open its details to view tabs for:
Production – finished goods
Raw materials – consumed materials
Scrap – recorded waste
Reversals – reversal history and new raw material reversals
Adding Production, Raw Materials, or Scrap
In the appropriate tab, click Add to create a document.
Best practice: Avoid editing documents created by other operators.
Start scanning to register products via barcode/QR labels.
If label is damaged/missing, tap the pencil icon (bottom-right) for manual entry.
After successful scan/entry, a notification confirms the registration.
Review scanned products in the List tab and remove errors via the three dots menu.
In the Quality tab, enter any required control data.
When ready, click Close Document to finalize. Always verify that the data saved correctly.
Raw Material Reversals
In the order, go to the Reversals tab to view or create reversals.
Click Add Reversal to select or create a document.
Best practice: Avoid editing documents created by others.
Configure the tare by clicking the pencil icon. Set the quantity to 1 for a physical pallet or 0 for a virtual one, and adjust the weight if needed.
After configuring the tare, you can edit, remove, or close it.
Enter Picking mode to start the reversal.
Scan material labels (or input manually).
Review data in the Product Mix section or close the pallet with the padlock icon.
Finally, click Close Document to complete the reversal.
