Lock Production Orders
Form ID: (AM517000)
If the Lock Production Orders Before Closing check box is selected on the Production Preferences (AM102000) form, you can use this form to lock or unlock multiple production orders at the same time. The default action selected on this form is Lock Order, which displays production orders with the Completed status in the table. When the selected action is Unlock Order, the table displays production orders with the Locked status.
When you click Process or Process All to lock production orders, the status of the production orders that previously had a status of Completed is updated to Locked. Only production orders that have unreleased batches against them can move from Completed to Locked. When you click Process or Process All to unlock production orders, the status of the production orders that previously had a status of Locked is updated to Completed.
