Updating Manufactures in Bulk

Update several manufactures at once instead of one at a time

Clicking into each manufacture just to mark it complete or push its start date back is slow when you're running a dozen batches at once. The batch actions bar on your Manufactures list lets you select several runs and update their status, start date, assignee, or deadline in one go.


Tick the checkboxes on one or more manufacture rows and a floating action bar slides up from the bottom of the screen, the same way it does on your Products, Materials, and Components lists.

Selecting manufactures to update

To open the batch actions bar:

  1. Go to your Manufactures list.
  2. Tick the checkbox on the left of each manufacture you want to update. Use the checkbox in the table header to select every manufacture currently on the page.

The bar shows how many manufactures are selected and stays anchored to the bottom of the screen while you scroll. Click the × on the bar to deselect everything. Any filters, search terms, or sorting you've applied to the list stay in place after the update runs.

Updating status in bulk

To mark several manufactures as in progress or completed at once:

  1. Select the manufactures you want to update.
  2. Click Update Status in the batch actions bar.
  3. Choose Mark as In Progress or Mark as Completed.

You can mark up to fifty manufactures as Completed in a single batch. Select fifty or fewer, or split a larger selection into smaller batches.

Setting a start date in bulk

To change the start date on several manufactures at once:

  1. Select the manufactures you want to update.
  2. Click Set Start Date in the batch actions bar.
  3. Pick a date and apply it.

Reassigning manufactures in bulk

To hand off several manufactures to a different team member:

  1. Select the manufactures you want to reassign.
  2. Click Reassign in the batch actions bar.
  3. Choose the team member from the list. Only your account's active team members appear here.

Setting a deadline in bulk

Set Deadline only appears in the batch actions bar if your plan supports production deadlines.

  1. Select the manufactures you want to update.
  2. Click Set Deadline in the batch actions bar.
  3. Pick a date and apply it.

Products, purchases, and orders support the same kind of batch update — see Updating products in bulk, Updating Purchases in Bulk, and Updating Orders in Bulk.
