Training: Changing Production Order Status

Managing the lifecycle of a production order is key to maintaining an accurate shop floor schedule. This training module demonstrates how to transition an order through its various stages.

Overview of Status Types

In Velosity, a Production Order typically moves through the following workflow: - PLANNED: The order is created but not yet ready for the floor. - RELEASED: Materials are ready, and the order is available for workers to begin. - WIP (Work in Process): Work has actively started on one or more tasks. - COMPLETED: All tasks in the router are finished.

Interactive Tutorial: PLANNED to RELEASED

The following walkthrough shows how a Planner or Admin can release a top-level production order to the shop floor using the Action dropdown.

Key Takeaways

  • Use the Production Orders view to see a summary of orders grouped by status.
  • Changing a status to RELEASED makes the order visible in the Production Queues.
  • Status changes are logged in the History tab of the production order for auditing purposes.
