Report completion for a Production Order.Receive the produced item into inventory and.Issue components (depending on the issue method),.Once the status has been set to Released, we can: The production manager changes the status to Released to start the production process. The capacity of the resources of the Production Order was subtracted from the Internal Capacity and became a Committed Capacity (More about resource capacity in the Resource Capacity course topic).The quantity of the item components of the Production Order were subtracted from the Available quantity of the items and became a Committed quantity (We can see it in the Item Master Data -> Inventory tab).Once the Production Order is entered, the following happens: Let us start the production process for the Decorative Wooden Door.

By default, The Start Date and End Dates in the rows are copied from the Start Date and Due Date in the header respectively. We can see date fields in the rows as well. The Start Date provides flexibility for the production manager in defining a sequence of schedule for the production orders. Due Date – This is the planned due date of production.Start date - This is the planned dated to start the production.Order Date – This is the date the Production Order was posted.There are three important date fields in the header of the Production Order: In order to proceed to the next step in the production process, the production manager changes the status to Released.
