# Production Schedules

Production orders are the fundamental way in which Busroot views activity on the shop-floor.

### Work Order Refs

Create Work Orders&#x20;

### Maintenance Schedules

Add maintenance schedules to keep track of planned downtime and build data to understand which areas are costing the most time.

#### Reasons

Build a list of reasons for commonly occurring maintenance, using Maintenance Reasons in the main menu. These can be assigned to each schedule.

#### Multi-level

When adding a reason for areas of maintenance that can be broken down in to more specific areas, a parent reason can be created first by selecting Top-level Reason. Then to add sub reasons, select an existing reason from the dropdown.

#### User Managed

#### Fixed

### Fixed Qty Schedules

For work orders with a fixed quantity, select Quantity in the dropdown and enter the amount below. Busroot will create an estimated end time for the schedule.

### Fixed Time Schedules

For work orders with only a specified end time, select End Time and enter date and time using the date/time selector.  Busroot will calculate an estimated quantity to be produced.

### Schedules Added Retrospectively

If a schedule does not exist at the time the station reports production complete, that unit of production will get assigned to the SKU 'unknown'.

If a schedule is then added retrospectively for that time period, Busroot will re-calculate that production and assign it correctly to the SKU in the schedule.
