Work through the one manufacturing posting rule the source package supplies — work in process completion and variance, marked partial — and run the discovery that establishes whether the estate is discrete, process or both before any production design is committed.
This is the thinnest module on the path, and the most useful thing it can do is say so clearly and then structure the discovery that fills the gap.
Count production transactions, not definitions. Definitions accumulate. A routing defined in 2011 for a product line discontinued in 2014 is configuration, not footprint. Pull production transaction counts by type, by plant and by month for at least the last twenty-four months, and the live footprint separates itself from the residue…
Where the estate runs recognisable discrete manufacturing, the structural translation is comfortable enough to plan around.
Once the footprint is known, the posting rule can be placed. Its shape is straightforward: work in process is credited, and inventory, variance or scrap accounts are debited, with the target expressing this through production posting for work in process, ending and variance, keyed on item group and production group.
Inventory owns the valuation basis this module's accounting resolves against, and owns the site and warehouse structure production consumes from and reports into. Product & Item Modelling owns the released-product set and the item groups the production posting is keyed on.
The deliverable is a scoping note, and its structure matters more than its length. Three sections:
The source package supplies one manufacturing posting rule, marks it partial, and rates the whole area medium confidence pending a client module inventory. That is the honest baseline, and this module is built to fill it rather than to paper over it.
