Releasing production orders

Releasing production orders

When you release a production order, the production order gets the order status Released. This means that the production can start: materials can be issued and spent hours can be accounted.

When you release a production order, LN performs the following actions:

  • Warehousing orders are created in Warehousing. Through these warehousing orders, the issue of materials and receipt into inventory of end products are handled.
  • Allocations of materials are moved to the shop-floor warehouse.
  • Inspection orders are created in Quality.
  • If the Moment Freezing Estimates field has the value During Releasing Order, the estimated order costs are frozen, and the estimated end-item unit costs are calculated.
