Navigate to 'Administration' > 'Setup' > 'Branches'.

Production Settings
Here we can set how Production Tickets behave when generated under the selected branch.
'Recovery GL Account'
Here you can select the GL Account in which you would like to Paradigm to post Production Costs to for Cost Recovery purposes.
'Waste Inventory'
Here you can select an Inventory Item that would represent production waste.
'Default Production Line'
Here you can select which Production Line is to be selected by default when generating Production Tickets under the selected branch.
'Production Warehouse'
This sets which warehouse to issue stock out of when producing a Finished Good such as Raw Materials and Consumables. If this field is not set, Paradigm will issue stock out of the default Raw Materials and Consumables Warehouses respectively.
'Ignore Posting Approval'
If checked, this setting will allow users to post Production Tickets to the financial system without requiring approval.
'No Bill Of Material Required'
If checked, this setting will allow users to generate Production Tickets without having to utilize a BOM. Raw Materials and WIP Items will then have to be added to the Production Ticket manually.
Customer Journal Payments
Here you can set how you would like Paradigm to generate journal entries in your financial system by selecting the desired Transaction Code for customer 'Cash', 'Card', 'EFT' and 'Voucher' payments under the selected branch.
Customer Journals Returns
Here you can set how you would like Paradigm to generate journal entries in your financial system by selecting the desired Transaction Code for customer 'Voucher', 'Cash' and 'Card' returns under the selected branch.
Default Production Warehouses
'Raw Material Warehouse'
This tells Paradigm which Warehouse to take stock from for Raw Materials used on the Production Ticket.
'Consumable Warehouse'
This tells Paradigm which Warehouse to take stock from for Consumables used on the Production Ticket.
'Finished Goods Warehouse'
This tells Paradigm which Warehouse to put the newly produced Finished Goods into.
Default Customer / Supplier Warehouses
'Sales Warehouse'
This will be the default warehouse assigned to lines on all customer documents such as Quotations, Sales Orders and Customer Invoices. These documents will take stock out of this warehouse when processed.
'Purchase Warehouse'
This will be the default warehouse assigned to lines on all supplier documents such as Purchase Orders, Goods Received Notes and Return To Supplier Documents. These documents will put stock into this warehouse when processed.
'Returns Warehouse'
This will be the default warehouse assigned to lines on all returns documents such as Credit Notes. These documents will put stock back into this warehouse when processed.
Default IBT Warehouses
'Goods In Transit'
This is the warehouse where stock will be sent to when posting an 'IBT Out' under the selected branch. The stock is then removed from this warehouse when posting the respective 'IBT In'.
'Damaged Goods'
Any stock damaged whilst in transit can be sent to a damaged goods warehouse instead of the designated receiving warehouse.
'Variance Goods'
In the case of variance between 'IBT out' and 'IBT In', the variance will be posted to a warehouse where one can analyze and control variances on IBT's made under the selected branch.
Buffer Priority Boards
'Default Order Due In Days'
In the case above, when generating a Sales Order or Purchase Order, the due date for completion will automatically be set to the date the document was created plus 5 days.
'Default Period'
This can be set to either Weeks or Days. The 'Default Duration' is then a count of these Weeks/Days.
The 'Buffer Priority' will change colour to indicate how urgently the Production Ticket needs to be processed.
'Default Duration'
In the above example, based on the 'Period', 'Duration' and 'Due Date' the Priority would be displayed as follows :
Black - 1 Week before Due Date.
Red - 2 Weeks before Due Date.
Amber - 3 Weeks before Due Date.
Green - 4 Weeks before Due Date.
Blue - 5 Weeks before Due Date.
