Release Production Orders

Form ID: (AM500000)

New production orders, whether manually entered, created by MRP or by the Critical Materials process are set to a status of Planned. You cannot post any transactions or incur any costs when the order is in a Planned status. This process allows you to quickly select the planned production orders that need to be. To process, simply select the Selected check box for the production orders that you want to release and then click the Process button. It can be scheduled to run automatically using automation schedules (for details, see Automated Processing: General Information).

The process will first change the status of the production orders to Released. By doing so, the In Production and On Production Orders quantities are increased. The On Production Orders quantity represents the quantity that is currently in production to be produced. The In Production quantity represents the quantity of the materials required by open production orders.

Tip: Once the order has a status of Released and no transactions have been posted or costs incurred you can use Production Order Maintenance (AM201500) to change the status back to Planned.
