Viewing Production Order

You can carry out the following tasks:

  • Material
    • Check inventory and inventory shortages. On the Inventory tab, you can view the inventory for the production order and see whether shortages are present. You can also use the Print Shortages by Production Order (tisfc0418m000) session to determine whether there are material shortages for a specific production order on a specific date. Click Print in the session header or on the Inventory tab to start the session.
    • Add or delete a material, or replace an estimated material by an alternative material. You can do this on the Estimated Material tab, provided a production order does not yet have the Active status.
  • Operations
    • Replan production order or operations, for example, change the production start time. For a production order, you can change the start date in the header. For a specific operation, you can change the start date on the Production Planning tab.
    • Change an operation, for example, by using an alternative work center. You can change operations on the Production Planning tab, provided the operation does not have the Completed status.
    • Add an operation. You can add an operation on the Production Planning tab, provided the production order does not have the Active status.
    • Perform capacity checks. Select an operation on the Production Planning tab, and click a utilization session from the appropriate menu.

You can release a production order with the order status Planned for production by clicking Release Order from the appropriate menu in the header.

Note

These tasks are usually carried out by a shop floor scheduler or planner. However, depending on the company type, also other persons such as a supply chain planner can carry out the tasks.
