A Production Order describes a discrete production activity to be per formed at a specific work center. One or more work order steps are linked to each production order, which describe the details of the work to the done. All of the work order steps linked to the production order must have the same work center and process code, and have compatible size shape and other proper ties for the process.
- A production order can be created for internal use, which does not reference any sales orders.
- Add work order steps to a production order. The system will validate that the work steps being added are compatible with other work order steps linked to the production order.
- Remove work order steps from a production order, or create, confirm, place on hold, close, cancel, schedule, set under revision, and change parameters.
- Query the open production orders and their associated work order steps assigned to a given process and work center; next and related steps, production results and stocks reserved.
- Print a Production Order Report for any given production order.
- Whenever a work order step is added / removed to/from a production order, the system will determine whether any other work order steps will be added / removed because of shared stock reservations.
- Whenever work order steps are added / removed from a production order, or any of the associated work order steps is changed, the system will recalculate the production order quantity, throughput rate and expected run time, and update the previous and next production order steps as necessary.
- Whenever a user changes a production orders schedule day or shift, the system will automatically reschedule all subsequent related production orders and their associated work order steps, except those whose state is cancelled or closed.
- Whenever a production order is closed, the system will return any remaining reserved material to stock.
