FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about this feature.

What is the Kanban board view for work orders?

The Kanban board displays your work orders in columns based on their status (e.g., Pending, In Progress, Complete). You can drag and drop work orders between columns, making it easy to update status and visualize your production workflow.

How does material allocation work?

When you create a work order, Fiddle automatically calculates the materials needed based on your bill of materials. You can allocate materials with one click, and Fiddle tracks what's been allocated versus what's still available in inventory.

Can I track work order progress in real-time?

Yes! Fiddle provides real-time visibility into work order status. You can see which orders are in queue, in progress, or complete. The Kanban board view makes it easy to identify bottlenecks at a glance.

How do work orders integrate with inventory?

Work orders are fully integrated with inventory. When you complete a work order, finished goods are added to inventory and raw materials are depleted. All lot numbers are tracked for complete traceability.

Can I assign work orders to specific team members?

Absolutely. You can assign work orders to team members, track who's working on what, and see each person's workload. This helps ensure accountability and keeps your production team aligned.
