Produce Overview

​

What is the Produce Module?

The Produce module helps you manage production planning and tracking. It provides tools for:

• Defining Production Items: Manage production catalogs (plant varieties), categories, and production items
• Managing Recipes: View and organize plant production recipes with cultivation details
• Tracking Events: Record and track material, task, and space events during production
• Automating Triggers: Configure production triggers that activate based on date calculations

​

Key Features

​

Data Management

Production Items (3 separate tabs):

• Catalogs: Plant varieties defined by genus, series, and color
• Categories: Production categories with codes, eaches, and space assignments
• Production Items: Items that reference catalogs and categories
• Inline editing with save/discard functionality
• Export/Import capabilities

Production Recipes:

• View plant production recipes in grid or card format
• Track grow weeks, plants per pack, yield percentages
• Filter and sort by production attributes
• View recipe details in card view with tabbed interface

Production Events (3 separate tabs):

• Material Events: Track material consumption during production
• Task Events: Track production tasks and labor activities
• Space Events: Track production space allocation and usage

​

Production Triggers

• Date-based Activation: Triggers activate based on date calculations
• Configurable Offsets: Set positive number of days as offset
• Source & Unit Selection: Choose from dropdown options
• Expiration Dates: Define specific expiration timestamps
• Active/Inactive Status: Toggle trigger status independently of other settings

​

Module Navigation

The Produce module has two main sections:

1. Data Management (/produce/data-management/*)
   • Items: Production catalogs, categories, and items
   • Recipes: Production recipes and workflows
   • Events: Material, task, and space events
2. Settings (/produce/settings/*)
   • Triggers: Production trigger configuration

​

Common Workflows

​

Setting Up Production Items

1. Navigate to Data Management → Items
2. Catalogs tab: Create plant variety catalogs (genus, series, color)
3. Categories tab: Create production categories (code, eaches, space category)
4. Production Items tab: Create items linked to catalogs and categories
5. Use inline editing to update existing entries

​

Working with Production Recipes

1. Navigate to Data Management → Recipes
2. Switch between Grid View (table format) or Card View (detailed view)
3. Filter and sort recipes by production attributes
4. View recipe details including grow weeks, yield percentages, and production windows
5. Use Export/Import for bulk operations

​

Tracking Production Events

1. Navigate to Data Management → Events
2. Choose event type tab:
   • Materials: Material consumption events
   • Tasks: Task and labor events
   • Space: Space allocation events
3. View and manage events for production tracking

​

Configuring Production Triggers

1. Navigate to Settings → Triggers
2. Click Add New to create a trigger
3. Fill in the form:
   • Name: Descriptive trigger name
   • Source: Select from dropdown
   • Offset: Positive number (days)
   • Unit: Select from dropdown
   • Expire By: Select expiration date
4. Click Submit to save
5. Toggle status with Make Active/Inactive button (for existing triggers)

​

Production Event Types

The Events section has three tabs for tracking different aspects of production:

​

Material Events

Track material consumption during production activities. The Materials tab displays material events that can be viewed and managed.

​

Task Events

Track tasks and labor activities during production. The Tasks tab displays task events for production workflow management.

​

Space Events

Track production space allocation and usage. The Space tab displays space events for resource planning.

​

Production Triggers

Production triggers use date calculations to automate timing: Example Configuration: “Start Production - 8 Weeks Before”

• Name: “Start Production - 8 Weeks Before”
• Source: Selected from available options
• Offset: 56 (positive number representing days)
• Unit: Selected from available options
• Expire By: Specific date when trigger should expire

The trigger activates based on the calculation: Activation Date = Expire By Date - Offset

​

User Roles

The Produce module is typically used by:

• Production Managers: Planning production workflows and recipes
• Production Staff: Tracking events and task completion
• Inventory Coordinators: Managing material usage
• Operations: Configuring triggers and automation

​

Integration Possibilities

The Produce module is designed to work alongside other modules in the WorkSuite system:

• Material Module: Can potentially source materials tracked in production events
• Fulfill Module: Production items may relate to fulfillment inventory
• Availability Module: Production output may feed into availability tracking
