Production Orders

When a Production Order is created during the procurement release process, the lines from the production BOM are transferred either from the exploded lines in the Project Budget Calculation or the lines from the production BOM. The costs and prices from the Project Budget Calculation or production BOM are transferred to the production order lines and the date in the Procurement Finish Date field from procurement is used as the Ending Date in the Production Order. Related project information is available in the Project FastTab.

An inventory request is automatically created for the production order. If the Reserve Inv. Request for Production Order toggle is turned on in the Projects Setup page, then the production order is reserved against the inventory request automatically so that there is no requirement surplus. The reservation is visible in the Production Order (Line > Reservation Entries and Reserved Quantity field in the Lines FastTab) and the Reserved Quantity field in the Lines FastTab on the Project Inventory Request.

Posting the production order only consumes the components for the production order and creates the production output; it has no influence on the project.

Posting the inventory request, regardless of reservation, will transfer costs as well as the quantities produced in output from the warehouse to the project.

Note

Production Orders are recognized by the Planning Worksheet calculation. The planning calculation suggests to cancel the existing production orders and create a new production order based on the inventory request if no reservations are used. This can be ignored – or is not recommended to carry out.
