MRP Module - Production Orders

A Production Order defines the finished good to be produced, the location where production will take place, the date and time of production, and the quantity of components and resources required. A Production Order also defines the sequence of operations to be performed and the costs of finished goods. It is a vital part of the production process. There are four stages of a Production Order in DEAR: Planning – Component and resource availability is checked, and resource capacity is allocated. Authorising the order allocates resource capacity and confirms the Release date in order for the finished good to be completed on time. Release – Releasing an Order allocates components to the order. If transfer orders and replenishment are set to automatic, Release will generate transfer orders and purchase orders for out of stock components. Work in Progress – The order is split into Production Runs, and production operations are carried out. Produced items are put away. Complete – All items have been produced and put away.
