The **Production Dashboard** gives you a summary of all raw material production orders: how many there are in each status, which orders were created most recently, and which are in production.

**Where to find it:** Materials Production & Inventory → Production → Dashboard
**Requires:** permission `VIEW_MATERIAL_PRODUCTION`

## What the dashboard shows

- **Summary cards:** One card per status: **Total Orders**, **Created**, **In Production**, **Production Completed**, **Shipped**, **Cancelled** and **Delayed Production**. Each card shows the figures chosen under **Customize**.
- **Recent Orders:** The latest production orders ("Latest production orders") with the production number, supplier, number of materials and status. If there are none, the card shows **No recent orders**.
- **Upcoming Milestones:** Orders that are in production, with their production start date. If there are none, the card shows **No upcoming milestones**.
- **Alerts & Issues:** Appears only when at least one order has the status Delayed.

Each summary card has a link at the bottom (**View all**, **View created**, **View in production** and so on). It opens **Order Management**, filtered to that status. The **Total Orders** link opens the full list.

## Filter by date

1. **Open the date range**
   Click the date button at the top right. It reads **All time** until you pick a range.

   

2. **Pick the dates**
   In the calendar, click a start date and an end date.

   

The summary cards and the lists update to the chosen range.

## Customise the dashboard

1. **Click "Customize"**
   Click the **Customize** button at the top right.

   

2. **Choose the summary cards**
   Under **Summary bar options**, check or uncheck the cards you want to see.

   

3. **Choose how numbers are shown**
   Under **Show numbers in:**, check **Count**, **Amount**, **Percentage**, or any combination.

   

> [!NOTE]
> The **Percentage** figure is not shown on the **Total Orders** card. Amounts use your brand's base currency.

## Create an order from the dashboard

Users who can create material production orders see a **Create Order** button at the top right. Clicking it opens the **Create Production Order** window. See [Create raw material production order](https://docs.vestislabs.com/raw-materials/create-raw-material-production-order/) for the steps. After the order is created you are taken to **Order Management**.
