Generate Production Orders (tdsls4243m000)

Use this session to generate production orders from sales orders.

You can generate production orders for the following sales orders:

  • Sales orders requesting allocated inventory
    Hard pegged production orders are generated. As a result, the production order receives the same allocation and hard pegging data as the sales order.
  • Sales orders requesting unallocated inventory
    You can generate production orders for sales orders requesting unallocated inventory. The generated production orders have no fixed link with the sales orders from which they are generated. No allocation and hard pegging data appears on these orders.
Note
  • To generate production orders, the Allow Production Orders check box must be selected for the sales order type in the Sales Order Types (tdsls0594m000) session.
  • The production order, which you can view in the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) session, delivers the produced item to the warehouse that is defined on the sales order line, after which the items are shipped to the customer.

You can start this session from the following sessions:

  • Sales Orders (tdsls4100m000)
  • Sales Order (tdsls4100m900)
  • Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000)

  • Sales Order Line Status (tdsls4534s000), if Generate Production Orders (tdsls4243m000) is the current activity to be carried out.
