Overview
You can create production orders for recycling for specific tasks related to breakdown of the main product into components for recycling needs.
Use these production orders to create a schedule by items and quantity, control order execution, manage demand for production.
When you create a production order for recycling, specify the main product to be dismantled into components. The BOM defines the required operations and components. Default standard BOM and route sheets are specified for each product ordered for recycling. Sometimes this data can be filled manually in production stages.
As a result of this process, a production order for recycling is created.
