Calculating Lines from Production Order Headers

The production order lines contain the items that are to be produced in the production order.

You can either insert the production order lines manually or use the function that calculates the production order lines from the header.

If you use the function to calculate the production order lines from the header, the program deletes the old production order lines and calculates new lines.

To Calculate Lines from Production Order Headers:

  1. Open the Firm Planned Prod. Order window.

  2. In the No. field, insert the next number in the series.

  3. In the Source Type field, select the source of the production order.

  4. In the Source No. field, select the item number, family or sales header for which the production order is to be generated.

  5. Fill in the Quantity and Due Date fields according to your specifications.

  6. Click Functions, Refresh.

  7. On the Production Order tab, the current production order has been selected as a default.

  8. On the Options tab, you can make the following selections:

    Scheduling Direction

    Forward

    Scheduling starts from the starting date and proceeds forward (to the finishing date). (You must fill in the starting date to use this option.)

     

    Back

    Scheduling starts from the ending date and proceeds backward (back to the required starting date).
