Production - Orders

Production orders describe the process and material required to complete a Sales Order line item. Each Production Order has an associated Sales Order.

A production order has five possible status types: - PLANNED - RELEASED - WIP - COMPLETED - RESERVED

The RESERVED state shows that a Sales Order has been scheduled (priority locked in), but without the Sales Order status being FINAL (also RESERVED).

By Status

A PLANNER or ADMIN role can update the Status (WIP, RELEASED, PLANNED, RESERVED, COMPLETED) using the Action drop down.

By Phase

This view shows production orders by Phase.

By Customer

This view shows production orders by Customer.

By Assignment

Update Start Date

The start date of the Production Order can be updated - determining a new priority number (sequence). The next Schedule update will revise start and finish dates for the entire Schedule.

Update Phase

Phase is a further way to understand the state of any production order - but specific to your processes. The default Phase for a Production Order is defined on the Tasks in Setup. When the next Task is started on the Production Order the Phase is updated to that value. A unique list of Phases can also be defined in Setup/Phases. The Phase of a Production Order can also be set with the drop down as shown here.
