Releasing Production Orders to the Show Floor

A production order with the Released status indicates that production can start, for example, materials can be issued, and spent hours can be accounted.

LN performs the following actions when releasing a production order:

  • Warehousing orders are created in Warehousing. Through these warehousing orders, the issue of materials and receipt into inventory of end products are handled.
  • If the Use of Sh. Fl. Wareh. check box is selected and the Move Allocation to Shop Floor Warehouse in the Shop Floor Control Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session is At Release, allocations of materials are moved to the shop-floor warehouse.
  • If the Moment Freezing Estimates field in the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) details session is During Releasing Order, the estimated order costs are frozen, and the estimated end-item unit costs are calculated.
  • If you use Quality, inspection orders are created.
Note

If the Printing Order Doc. Mandatory check box in the Shop Floor Control Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session is selected, you can run the Release Production Orders (tisfc0204m000) session when the order status is Documents Printed. Repetitive items can be released regardless of this parameter.

To release only the production orders for which the required materials are available, select the Check Shortages check box. For more information, refer to Material shortage checking.

If the Check Material Shortages at Release check box in the Shop Floor Control Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session is selected, you can select the Check Shortages check box under Options to check the availability of the required materials. If that check box is selected, LN does not release the production orders for which the required materials are not available in time.
