Exploding work orders

When the work order status is changed to exploded, the work order is broken into its component parts.

There are three ways to explode work orders:

1. creating exploded work orders during production scheduling

2. manually exploding work orders

3. exploding several work orders by running a batch program

Explosion adds several things to a work order, including:

• components, extended quantities, and burdens

• byproducts and notes attached to components, burdens, and byproducts

Component inventory is allocated when the work order is exploded and the application also calculates the costs associated with that work order.
