Database table: ORDER

Orders authorize production at a manufacturing facility for a single level of the bill of material. You can release an order for production based on a scheduled release date.

There are three order types—new, in-process, and unconfirmed.

The ORDER.STATUSCD code specifies these order types:

• New: represents an order released into the manufacturing system at a specific date and time
• In-process: represents an order released into the manufacturing system before the start date (ALTSCHED.STARTDATE) of the Scheduler run
• Unconfirmed: represents an order scheduled for release at a specific date and time. However, APS releases these orders only if the ALTSCHD.IGNUNCOMFG field is set to "N"

The APS Planner uses the New order type only.
