***
## 1. Access the Manufacturing Module
The manufacturing dashboard provides a clear overview of your production pipeline with integrated AI assistance.
* Navigate to **Manufacturing** → **Manufacturing Orders**
* The main view displays your production orders with columns for Reference, Start Date, Product, Status, and Quantity
* On the left side, the Knowlix AI assistant awaits your commands with "What can I help with?"
* Instead of clicking through multiple menus to create orders manually, simply describe what you need in natural language
***
## 2. Create Manufacturing Order with AI
Use natural language to instantly generate complex manufacturing orders.
**Step 1: Enter Your Request**
Type your manufacturing request in the AI chat. For example:
*"Please create an extra manufacturing order for my new client Felix. He bought a computer for 3000 USD."*
**Step 2: AI Processing**
The AI understands your request and automatically:
* Creates Manufacturing Order **WH/MO/00001** in **Draft** status
* Identifies the main product: **Chip Model AZ-11**
* Generates a Bill of Materials (BoM) including **Dell Monitor** component
* Sets scheduled date and assigns to responsible personnel (**Francesco Wiedemann**)
* Calculates quantities: **1.00** unit to produce with **5.00** component quantity
The order is ready for review before confirmation.
***
## 3. Product and Component Management
AI intelligently recognizes products or creates new ones when needed.
* Access **Operations** → **Products** dropdown to view all available items
* Choose from **Manufacturing Orders**, **Unbuild Orders**, or **Scrap** workflows
* The system displays existing products like **Chip Model AZ-11**, **Dell Monitor**, and **Rayban Sunglasses** with their prices and stock levels
* When you mention a product that doesn't exist, AI automatically creates it in the system
***
## 4. Automated Sales Order Conversion
AI seamlessly converts manufacturing orders into confirmed sales orders.
**AI Confirmation:**
After processing, the AI provides detailed feedback:
* **Sales Order Created Successfully!**
* Order number: **S00007**
* Customer: **Felix Kothe**
* Product: **Computer**
* Price: **\$3,000**
**What AI Did:**
* **Found Felix Kothe** in your contacts (ID: 11)
* **Created a "Computer" product** with sales price of \$3,000
* **Generated Manufacturing Order** with "1 Computer" for Felix
* **Created the order in Draft status**, ready for review
**Sales Order View:**
The main screen now shows Sales Order **S00007** with:
* Customer details and delivery address
* Product line: **Computer** at **3,000.00 €** (quantity: 1.00)
* Product description: "High-performance computer system"
* Status: **Quotation** (ready to confirm)
**Next Steps:**
You can now:
* Review and confirm the order
* Send the quotation to Felix
* Process the delivery once confirmed
The entire workflow from manufacturing request to sales order happens in one AI conversation, eliminating manual data entry and reducing errors.
