Manufacturing Order Workbench

User stories

The Manufacturing Order Workbench application is a tool for the production manager or the team lead to keep track of the manufacturing situation, and see all related information needed for an order. They are able to reschedule orders, and report transactions that may be needed to correct an order. You can use the MO transactions tab to get a quick overview of what has been reported so far.
