Overview

Production orders depend on demand (sales orders, transfer orders, and other). They initiate production of items and specify quantity and applicable BOMs. The production orders are used to create a schedule by items and quantity, control order execution, and manage material demand for production.

Enterprise-wide demand is converted into production orders. The company needs to specify possible generation options.

How to generate demand-driven production orders

1. Go to Manufacturing and click Production orders under Production scheduling and controlling.

2. Click Create and select By demands.

3. At Step 1 of 6. Filter demands, set the filter according to the conversion rules.

4. At Step 2 of 6. Customize procurement strategy, the system will automatically:

  • Create a list of applicable Procurement strategies based on the demand data.
  • Fill the Delivery date is before the date option in the Demand conversion option column.
  • Calculate and fill the Delivery date based on the lead times of the relevant Procurement strategy.
  • Review the information and correct the conversion time horizon in the Delivery date columns if necessary.

Note

Use the Delivery date is in the period option in the Demand conversion option column for periodic and repetitive delivery.

The system will automatically calculate order quantity to meet all requirements up to the date specified in the Delivery date, to field.

Specify the Delivery date, to.

This option helps you manage demand and place periodic and repetitive orders.

5. At Step 3 of 6. Inventory level control, the system will automatically:

  • Create a list of Items based on the replenishment strategy (min-max).
  • Show replenishment parameters.
  • Fill the quantity To order in accordance with the replenishment setting applied.
  • Calculate the Shipment date in accordance with the replenishment setting.

6. Select lines in the To order column and specify quantity for conversion.

7. At Step 4 of 6. Select the demand, the system will automatically:

  • Create a list of Items based on the demand data.
  • Fill the quantity To order based on the demand data in accordance with the setting applied at the previous step.
  • Calculate the Shipment date in accordance with the setting applied at the previous step.

8. Select lines in the To order column and specify quantity for conversion.

9. At Step 5 of 6. Order preview and editing, verify the information of the preview orders.

10. Select lines and click Change to correct Warehouse and Procurement strategy for creating orders.

11. Click Create orders.

12. At Step 6 of 6. Confirmation of created orders, the system will automatically:

  • Create and fill the Production orders.
  • Fill the Backward production scheduling option.
  • Set the status to Queued if there are no system errors.

How to verify items and quantity for production

1. Open the converted production order.

2. Click the Manufactured products tab.

3. Verify the manufactured products and their quantity.

4. In the Assignment column, find the order (a sales order, a production stage, a transfer order, and other).

5. Make sure the Recipient field is filled with the product destination warehouse.

How to verify scheduling types and production start dates

1. Open the converted production order.

2. Click the Manufactured products tab.

3. Make sure the Earliest start date field is filled correctly.

4. Set the start date of the production process. If no value is specified, the system will automatically use the current date as a production start date.

5. Check the Requested completion date field. It will be filled automatically based on the demand reference order displayed in the Assignment field.

6. Check the Production scheduling option. Leave Backward to follow the ASAP ("as soon as possible") strategy. The Forward option corresponds to the  JIT ("just in time") strategy.

How to verify bills of materials

1. Open the converted production order.

2. Click the Manufactured products tab.

3. Open the Bills of materials list and choose one option from the list below:

  • Order-specific BOM
  • BOM template that can be modified manually later

4. Send a request to the production master data manager.

How to save production orders

1. Set the status to Queued if the system did not set it during the automatic conversion procedure.

2. Post the document.

3. The system will automatically:

  • Perform standard checks on whether the required fields are filled and their values are correct.
