R-WAVE ERP Guide

R-WAVE ERP Guide

To support user navigation and clarity, R-Wave ERP includes a built-in contextual help system in the form of a pop-up guide window. This feature is available across different modules, including Manufacturing, and is designed to help users understand where they are in the system and how to use the current section effectively.

Image

The ERP Guide window helps users by:

  • Showing where you are within the system (module context).
  • Providing a visual schema of your company’s business flow, helping you understand how the current module fits into the larger operational structure.
  • Offering a quick-reference instruction panel with the main actions and functions available in the current tab (e.g., creating companies, filtering, scheduling events).

Image

Layout and Content

When opened, the ERP Guide window is divided into two main areas:

  • Left Side — Business Flow Map
    This section displays a structured diagram of your company's processes and how the current module connects to others (e.g., CRM, Procurement, Sales, HR). It visually highlights your current position in the overall ERP environment.
  • Right Side — Functional Overview
    Provides a concise, bullet-style instruction list describing the key operations available in the current module/tab.

Top Bar Options

At the top of the ERP Guide window, you’ll find two optional tools for deeper understanding:

  • Business Processes Maps – Opens a full interactive view of your organization’s process structure.

Image

  • Glossary – Provides definitions and descriptions of key terms and field labels used in the ERP interface.

Image

The ERP Guide window can usually be opened via a dedicated icon or help button (often located in the upper right corner of the screen). It is non-intrusive and can be closed or reopened as needed, allowing users to stay focused without losing their place.

Manufacturing Module Overview

Plans

Plans

The Plans tab in the Manufacturing module displays all currently active production plans. Each plan represents a structured and visualized version of product structure sent to production. These plans are generated automatically based on the corresponding production structure.

Image

Purpose of the Plans Tab

This tab allows users to:

  • View, filter and manage current production plans;
  • Monitor the production status of each position in the hierarchy;
  • Visually schedule tasks and assign employees or machines;
  • Create production orders (Own or Outsourced);
  • Add or remove positions from the plan and track their warehouse status;
  • Manage changes and rework requests dynamically.

Interface Overview

Upon entering the Plans tab, the user sees:

Image

Production Calendar

Opens a separate calendar interface where you can mark holidays and non-working days. After making changes, click the Save Calendar button to apply them to the system.

Image

Workload

Displays a weekly or full-range timeline showing how tasks are distributed across: Employees, Machines or All

Image

Rows list employees/machines, columns represent time.
Controls:

  • Prev / Next Week – scroll the timeline
  • Slider – jump to a specific time frame
  • Hide Workloads – activates checkboxes to manually hide irrelevant rows

All Plans View

A consolidated color-coded view of all production plans in the system.

Image

Hierarchy – switches to a hierarchical tree view of the plan, showing the product structure categories and levels.
List – switches to a flat list view of all plans.

Filter Panel

Includes filters for narrowing down plans by:

Image

  • Expand All / Collapse All – for hierarchical view
  • Search – quick search bar
  • Selected Plans – This option becomes active when one or more rows are selected (multi-selection is supported). It opens the selected plan(s) in a separate window.

Image

Row Actions (click on ⋮ icon at end of row):

Image

Actions Explained

Statuses & Comment – opens a modal where you can track or update the progress. You can add multiple statuses by clicking + Add Status, but only one can be marked as Active at a time. The Comment field is optional.

Image

Add Split – available if quantity > 1, allows splitting into separate plans, but the total amount must be equal to the initial quantity. For example, if the total quantity is five, the split can be 2, 2, 1.

Image

Delete Plan – allows you to remove the plan at any stage. If the plan includes positions linked to open orders or warehouse requests, those connections will be automatically removed during deletion

Go to plan – opens the detailed plan page.

Here, you see a hierarchical tree, showing all positions, their statuses, and production tasks.

Image

Colored graphical markers next to each position:

  • .
    • Green – in stock and reserved
    • Red – out of stock (purchase or production required)
    • Yellow – ordered or in process
    • Gray striped – delivery date changed, needs confirmation
    • White – not processed yet

You can also access the plan page by clicking the Code value in the table on the main Plans page — it is clickable and leads to the same detailed view.

Image

Calendar & Gantt Area

At the top of the plan view is the production calendar, which shows a timeline of expected delivery dates and manufacturing stages. The Gantt-style chart lets users:

  • Drag bars left or right to change expected start/end dates of tasks

Image

  • Click on a task bar to open a pop-up for:

Image

  • .
    • Editing start/end dates
    • Assigning employees and their work hours
    • Assigning machines
    • Verifying if the task is Locked or Unlocked

When delivery date of a child item is changed, the parent item’s delivery schedule shifts accordingly. The schedule always respects the hierarchy.

Filter Panel (Bottom of the Plans Page)

Image

  • Status – Not processed, Deficit, On Stock, Ordered, Reserved, Rework
  • Order Type – Own Production, Outsourcing, Purchased
  • Nomenclature Type – Assembly, Manufactured, Purchased
  • Technologies – Filters by technology (e.g., Assembly, Welding, Compounding, Rotation, etc.)

Filter Interaction Principles

Filters work combinatorially. The more filters you apply, the narrower the visible result.

Some examples:

  • If you select Order Type: Purchased + Status: Deficit — you might see nothing, because the purchased item wasn’t ordered.
  • If you select Technologies: Welding + Nomenclature: Manufactured — you'll get only those manufactured items that include welding.
  • If you select Order Type: Own Production and filter Status: On Stock — you’ll see only manufactured items that were produced internally and are now ready.

Some filters are context-sensitive. For example, if no positions are using the “Rotation” technology, the filter will show zero results.

Actions in the Bottom Panel

In addition to filtering, the bottom panel also includes action buttons:

Image

  • Order Creation — Starts the order creation flow for selected tasks
  • Add Items — Allows adding new items to the plan from stock
  • Confirmation – sending a request for planning confirmation/correction to confirm the existing or the changed plan

Task Interaction: Editing and Assignment

When clicking on a specific task in the Gantt chart, a pop-up window opens. Here the user can:

Image

Image

  • Drag to reschedule OR manually enter Start/End date and time
  • Insert TTC (time to complete)
  • Choose the type: Own production or Outsource
  • Assign:
    • Employees (and their time allocation)
    • Machines
  • See if the task is Locked or Unlocked (or you can (un)lock it manually)
  • Add Technology

Image

Employee and machine assignments are only available for Own Production orders.

Creating Orders from the Plan

Once unlocked, tasks can be selected and included in a production order:

  • Click Order Creation

Image

  • Choose technologies from the 1st and 2nd filters (only sequentially)

Image

  • Click Create Order

The system generates a new order and also a Production Request (for Own) or Delivery Request (for Outsourcing).

Restrictions:

  • Order can include only DEFICIT and Unlocked tasks
  • Cannot mix Own and Outsource in one order
  • Tasks must follow the technology sequence

Adding Items to the Plan

You can add items to an existing plan without changing the original Product Structure. Steps:

  1. Click Add Items Image Image
  2. Choose item type (Assembly / Manufactured / Purchased) Image Purchased: Image Assembly: Image Manufactured: Image
  3. Search in Warehouse/Assembling/Manufactured items or Add new item
  4. Enter quantity per item
  5. Click Add Items

When you click Add Items, the selected materials or components are added to your production plan. Here's how it works:

  • Status Assignment

Every new item you add will automatically be assigned the status Not Processed. This means the system recognizes the item as pending action — either to be picked from the warehouse, purchased, or manufactured — but no sourcing process has started yet.

  • Warehouse Check Required

Availability of each item must be checked manually in the warehouse. The system will not automatically reserve or check inventory levels. This ensures that warehouse managers or planners have full control over what is picked or requested.

  • How to Proceed After Adding

Once the items appear in the plan with the status Not Processed, it’s up to you or the warehouse team to: Check if the item is available in stock. If it’s not available, initiate one of the following manually via the Production List module:

For purchased items: create a purchase request.

For manufactured items: create a manufacturing task.

Quantity per assembly is automatically multiplied by the number of assemblies in the plan.

Deleting Positions

To delete a position:

  1. Click the task bar of the position
  2. Click the Delete button in the pop-up

Behavior:

  • If the position is not linked to any open order or warehouse request:
    • A confirmation modal appears asking the user to confirm deletion.
  • If it’s linked to an open order:
    • System asks for confirmation and unlinks the order (order remains in system)

Image

  • If warehouse request is already closed:
    • Deletion is blocked — action denied

Deleted positions are returned to Warehouse – Items.

Order Dependencies

  • If a new item is added to a position that is already included in an order:

The added item will appear in that order’s Parts/Materials List and in the Warehouse – Production Requests menu for preparation.

  • If an item is deleted from a position that has already been sent to an order:

The item will be removed from both the order’s Parts/Materials List and the associated warehouse request — but only if the production request has not yet been closed.

  • If the related warehouse request is already closed:

The item cannot be deleted from the plan, and the system blocks the action.

  • If a user attempts to delete a plan that contains ordered items:

A confirmation modal appears listing the affected items. For example: “Are you sure? The assembly you want to delete contains the ordered items: 1. 0000371 Connector Molex MX150 male 2 rows 20 circuits black (33482-2101)”

If the user confirms, the plan is deleted, and the related order is unlinked — but the order itself remains in the system and can be managed independently. These mechanisms ensure that production and warehouse data remain aligned with real-time changes in the plan.

Unlocking and Manual Order Creation

In the Manufacturing module, tasks in the production plan can only be included in an order if they are unlocked. Unlocking signifies that a task is eligible for ordering and meets specific readiness requirements. Tasks can then be unlocked — either automatically or manually — based on the production needs.

Unlocking

  • Automatic Unlocking

A task becomes unlocked automatically when one of the following conditions is met:

  • .
    • All direct child tasks (components or subassemblies) are in ON STOCK status (available in the warehouse and reserved).
    • The previous technology in the sequence (if applicable) is in ON STOCK status.

Tasks that meet these conditions are automatically marked as unlocked in the plan and are eligible for ordering.

  • Manual Unlocking

If not all materials or dependencies are ready, but production must proceed, the user can manually unlock a task to enable partial order creation.

This is useful for:

  • .
    • Starting production based on currently available materials.
    • Avoiding delays caused by missing or delayed subassemblies.

Manual unlocking overrides dependency checks — use only when partial readiness is acceptable.

Order Creation Logic

Once a task is unlocked, the user can initiate the order creation process by clicking the Order Creation button.

  • Preconditions for Order Creation:
    • Task status must be DEFICIT.
    • Task must be unlocked (either automatically or manually).
    • Technologies must follow the correct sequence (no skipping steps).
  • Technologies Selection:
    • The first filter displays the next available technology for each item (based on prior steps being already ordered or completed).
    • The second filter shows all valid subsequent technologies for the selected items, allowing creation of multi-step orders (e.g., Welding + Painting).

Skipping technologies is not allowed. The sequence must remain consistent.

  • Selection Requirements:
    • At least one task must be marked with “Add to Order” checkbox to proceed.
    • Only sequential technologies can be grouped in one order.

Create Order Modal

After selecting tasks and clicking Create Order, a modal window opens for order planning. The following parameters can be adjusted:

  • Order Type: Own Production or Outsourcing
  • Task Schedule: Start/end time (automatically initialized but editable)
  • Employee and Machine Assignment (only for Own Production orders)

Restrictions:

  • Start time of any task or resource cannot be earlier than the order creation time.
  • Outsource orders do not allow employee or machine assignment.
  • A single order cannot mix Own and Outsource types.
  • Conflicting schedules trigger a warning with options to adjust or continue.

Materials and Subassemblies Handling

The system includes components in the Parts/Materials List and Subassemblies section of the order, based on the readiness and structure of the task:

  • If the task was automatically unlocked:
    • All ON STOCK child components are added to Parts/Materials List
    • No further breakdown is performed — components are treated as ready-to-use
  • If the task was manually unlocked:
    • All available materials are added to the Parts/Materials List
    • All deficit subassemblies are added to Subassemblies
    • Already ordered subassemblies are listed again and await completion
    • The deficit child tasks of this unlocked task become blocked for separate ordering (to avoid duplication)

Special Notes:

The system adjusts start/end dates of tasks automatically to preserve correct sequences.

Technical Equipment (if assigned to the technology) is automatically added to the order and included in the Production Request.

All tasks in a single order:

  • Share the same status
  • Are shown in the plan with the same color
  • Are linked together for traceability
  • If Outsourced, are marked with a handshake icon
Orders to Own Production

Orders to Own Production

The Orders to Own Production tab in the Manufacturing module of R-Wave ERP is designed to manage and monitor production tasks that are handled internally, within your own facilities. It provides full visibility into the current status of each internal production order, tracks all related components and materials, and ensures alignment between planning, execution, and warehouse operations.

Purpose of the Orders To Own Production Tab
