Finalizing the production order close

Once all counts have been completed, the production order can be closed. You will not be able to perform the close function until all the counts are complete.

Note: If the order is in Production Close status, the finalize process can be completed even if no production count tasks are found for the order.

To complete the order:

  1. Select Finalize Close from the Prod Mgmt (POMP) menu.
  2. Specify the item number for the finished good product.
  3. Specify the Order Number or External Order Number to close. The message below displays prompting you to confirm the close.
    This will finalize production order xxxxxxxxx and close the receipt. Press "Y" to continue or press "N" to exit.
  4. Press "Y" (for Yes) to continue closing the production order, or press "N" (for No) to stop the close process and exit the screen.

    Once you select to close the production order, these steps occur:

    • Unallocate any items from the production order that have not been shipped.
    • Create inventory adjustments for any discrepancies between system inventory and the results of the cycle counts.
      • Because license plates are removed for items that use backflush logic, the finalize process will create multiple adjustments to correct inventory.
      • Current system inventory that likely does not have an LPN will be adjusted out of inventory (negative adjustment).
      • Cycle counts that were recorded with license plates will be adjusted in to inventory (positive adjustments).
      • The license plates will now be available for putaway or movement back to warehouse stock as needed.
    • Update the status of the ASN/Receipt for the finished goods item to Closed.
    • Update the production shipment order to a Shipped status.
    • Send all adjustment information, receipt confirmation, and order confirmation data to the host system.
