Displaying Production Orders

Production orders go through a number of order statuses, for example:

  • Planned
  • Documents Printed
  • Released

The order status determines which actions can be performed on a production order. For more information, refer to Production order status.

The default values for a production order are defined by production order series in the Default Production Order Data (tisfc0102m000) details session.

Click Default Qty to determine the default order quantity for repetitive items. The default order quantity is the basic capacity of the bottleneck work center.

Note

Click Duplicate in the menu or the toolbar to duplicate the production order, which means that the production header information is copied. The production order's original material and operations are not copied for a number of reasons:

  • Some materials in the BOM, or some operations may be invalid because of engineering changes.
  • Master data such as warehouse, item, cost price, and so on, may be changed, which can lead to inconsistent orders.
  • Information such as operation texts or drawings can be linked to the production order. LN cannot determine which data must be copied because this can differ for every occasion. Furthermore, LN cannot make a distinction between original and modified data.
  • Production order costing can be different for the original and the duplicated production order.
  • All warehouse orders and related data must always be regenerated anyway.
