Production Order Status

Use the Production Order Status report to monitor the execution progress of production orders. The report provides visibility into active and completed orders, review production performance, identify exceptions requiring attention, and gain visibility into schedule adherence and the overall flow of work through the manufacturing process. The production order status report is also often used as the basis to define information for operational dashboards.

Use this report to:

  • Monitor the progress of active production orders.
  • Review the status of manufacturing operations.
  • Identify stalled or delayed production orders.
  • Analyze production performance and throughput.
  • Monitor work-in-progress (WIP) across the manufacturing process.
  • Investigate production execution exceptions.
