Production Mode

The production mode for the process type. Possible values:

• Standard: A single material is created for the production order.
• Graded: A single material is created for the production order. However, the created material receives a grading to describe the quality.
• Expected Co-Production: Multiple materials are created on this production order, using a recipe job. The created material is booked based on pre-defined receiving production orders.
• Expected Co-Production (Position Restrictions): Multiple materials are created on the production order, using a recipe job. The created material is booked based on pre-defined receiving production orders. However, machine positions must match those on the assigned production orders.
• Expected Co-Production (Group Restrictions): Multiple materials are created on the production order, using a recipe job. The number of position groups allowed is limited by the Max Value, which defines the number of places in the machine that can create material.
• Expected Co-Production (Width Restrictions): Multiple materials are created on the production order, using a recipe job. The created material is booked based on the pre-defined receiving production orders.
• Unexpected Co-Production: Multiple materials are created on the production order, using a recipe job. The created material is booked based on the production orders; however, these orders cannot be pre-defined because the materials created are not expected.
