  Yes, if you want to consider its costs.
  No, you don´t need to mark Finished
  Yes, if you want to consider its cost
  
  Each routing (operation) is defined to either show progress or to add cost, eventually it is the last routing that results in the item ledger entry, meaning adding the output into inventory. Lets say you have two routings; painting and final assembly. No matter how much you post output on the painting routing it will not result in a finished item, only the output you post on final assembly.

  Hi,
  
  Thank you for your reply. Have you heard of anyone customizing the production or output journal? My concern is we may have routings with over 20 operations, and manually entering or overriding the output quantity seems very inefficient.
  
  In our environment, we must manually flush material, and setting the preset output quantity to Expected Output or Zero will still require the user to manually enter the output. If we need to enter 20 output journals for a long-lasting order, this can be very time consuming (20 operations x 20 individual output journals = 400 manually-entered lines).
  
  Any input/ideas would be much appreciated. I was thinking to create a custom "Output Quantity" on the production journal, that would roll down to all operations.

  Using expected output and production journal you will have expected output on all operations and if the quantity is as expected then just post the journal. But if you mean you normally have partial output (or different from expected) I would go for the customization to roll down the quantity on all operations.
