Create Production Orders
Form ID: (AM510000)
This process enables the creation of multiple production orders for sales order lines which have Mark for Production check box selected. The Mark for Production check box is automatically selected when a sales order line is entered for a stock item having Make to Order Item check box selected on the Manufacturing tab of the Stock Items (IN202500) form. This enables you to defer the creation to a later time or assign the creation of production orders to another user. The MTO Order check box must be selected on the Order Types (SO201000) form also to auto check the Mark for Production check box on the sales order line.
The sales order must meet the following conditions:
- On the Order Types (SO201000) form, the Enable Linking to Production Orders check box must be selected for the order type.
- The sales order must have one of the statuses specified for the order type in the Linkable Sales Order Statuses list.
The stock item must have the Dflt Mark For set to Production on the Stock Items (IN202500) form. This will select the Mark for Production check box in the Materials line on the Production Order Details (AM209000) form. You can also manually select this check box. The plan type is Production to Production.
