Closing production orders

Closing production orders

If you close a production order, LN:

  • Calculates the financial result of the production order
  • Posts the results to the general ledger
  • Updates the history of the actual costing and of the hours accounting

After you close a production order, the order status becomes Closed.

When a production order has the order status Closed, you cannot issue materials or account hours for the production order anymore.

However, you can reset the order status of a closed production order to Completed. See: Changing order status.

Special functions

In the Close Production Orders (ticst0201m000) session, you can also calculate the financial results of production order, without actually closing the production order.
