A Production Manager runs the factory: everyone's cutting, sewing and QC work and targets, daily work reports, mistakes and fines, workers' attendance, goods received and the factory's cashbook. They see and print orders to know what to make, but never sales money, salaries or your dashboards.
Where to find it
Give the role in Admin › Administration › Users & access › Users & logins (ইউজার ও লগইন). Open the person (or press Add user), pick Production Manager and press Save. The ticks the role needs are set by themselves.
They work mostly in Admin › ERP › Production Department, and start on their own dashboard after signing in (named after their job, for example Production Manager Dashboard).

Good to know
- The factory's money. In Admin › ERP › Accounts Department › Accounts, make them the holder of the factory's cash account (for example "Factory cash"), or tick them under Other staff who may use this account. They see only the accounts given to them: money in, spending, transfers and spending by category.
- Can be given: Factory work: submit cutting / sewing / QC, Purchase (old module) and Products & stock.
- Fines are yours. The fine amount for a mistake is set by the owner.
- Sales with a due. When a customer pays only part at the factory, they record the sale with its total bill and what was paid, and collect the rest later on Customer dues.
Example: at "Rangdhanu Fashion" the production manager checks sewing against target, notes the fabric that arrived and pays the electrician from the factory cash.
Common problems
- They cannot see the factory cashbook. Give them the factory's account in Accounts. If they were made Production Manager before the role kept the cashbook, also tick Own cash wallet on their user form.
- They cannot book a parcel. By design: their courier view is to see only.
