Production orders

What you will learn

Follow an order through definition, materials, operations and progress.

Worked example

For 50 assemblies, select the manufacturing set, check quantity and due date and review generated materials and phases.

The record combines header, materials and operations. Check quantity, required date, status and progress before planning. Operation times are per unit where applicable, and the engine calculates effective duration using quantity, setup, cleanup, capacity and efficiency. With Integrator, only fields actually mapped to an external source are protected.

Production orders
  1. 1
    Open the order list and filter by code or status. Enter through the order number and check article, quantity, required date, status and progress.
  2. 2
    Materials shows requirements, assigned and consumed quantities. Operations shows sequence, capacities and dates. A required date does not guarantee available capacity.
  3. 3
    Create or edit only with permission and when integration does not govern the data. Save from the header. Change already planned phases through the planning simulation.
  4. 4
    Cancelling an edit is not Cancel order, which is a business action. Review consequences and any proposed simulation before confirming.

  3. 0:12 · Open Operations to see phases and resources. No edits or saves.

Before you finish

The record shows the expected article, units, phases and requirements. Then check its inclusion or issues in simulation.

Common questions

An option is missing or I cannot edit

Check active company, licence, permissions and integration-managed fields. Do not use a direct URL to bypass restrictions.

I cannot find records

Clear filters and check page, dates and company. There may be no accessible data; do not create duplicates to test.

I saved but cannot see the expected effect

Reopen the record and verify. Saving data does not publish a required simulation. Check whether the first write succeeded before repeating it.
