A Work Order describes the standard sequence of work steps that are required to produce a given Production Release. The work order is similar to the Work Instructions, except for the following differences:
- Work order steps have states similar to releases, and are linked to a single production order for scheduling and production recording.
- Work order steps can be scheduled for a specific date and shift, and have stock reserved against them.
- The weight to be processed is stored in each work order step is based on the material reserved, using the standard weight unit of measure for the company.
- The actual weight processed against the step is stored.
- Populate the work order steps by copying the work instructions.
- Reserve stock against a work step or change an existing reservation.
- Schedule a work step for a specific date and shift.
- Create/confirm a Production Order and assign as a step. Steps can be placed on hold, or cancelled.
- Recalculate the processing parameters based on user- defined rules for a single step or all steps on the work order. Add new work steps at any point.
- Change the work center, or other processing parameters.
