How to handle partial production from a single Job Card

ERPNext Manufacturing
1

Hi everyone,

I’m using ERPNext v15 Manufacturing and facing an issue with partial production reporting.

Scenario

  • Work Order Quantity: 1000

  • Single Job Card for the operation

  • Production happens across multiple shifts

Example:

  • Shift 1 completed: 100 pcs

  • Shift 2 completed: 150 pcs

  • Shift 3 completed: 200 pcs

Requirement

I want to:

  • Maintain a single Job Card for the entire operation.

  • Record production progressively as each shift completes.

  • Create Manufacture Stock Entries for the actual quantity produced in each shift (100, 150, 200, etc.).

  • Keep the Work Order open until the full quantity of 1000 is produced.

Issue

When creating a Manufacture Stock Entry for a partial quantity (e.g. 100 against a Work Order of 1000), ERPNext appears to treat the remaining quantity as process loss or does not support the workflow as expected.

Questions

  • What is the recommended workflow in ERPNext v15 for partial production reporting from a single Job Card?

  • Is there a standard way to create multiple partial Manufacture Stock Entries against one Work Order without creating process loss?

  • Are multiple Job Cards mandatory for this use case, or is there a better approach?

Any guidance from users who have implemented shift-wise production reporting would be appreciated.

Thanks!
