Manufacturing Order Statuses
Manufacturing Order has to have a status assigned. Every status indicates different actions that can be performed on a specific Manufacturing Order. A Manufacturing Status can be assign in a Manufacturing Order header.
Available statuses:
Not Scheduled – Manufacturing Order does not have a due date defined
Scheduled – dates are determined for Manufacturing Order, but nothing can be issued to / receipt from production yet
Released – dates are determined for Manufacturing Order; it is possible to issue to / receipt from production
Started – Manufacturing Order changes automatically to this status on any related issue to production or operation start. It is possible to adjust this status manually. Manufacturing Orders with this status should not be re-scheduled
Finished – blocks Manufacturing Order but there is still an option to change the status.
Closed – details of the Manufacturing Order with this status cannot be changed anymore. Optionally changing to this status can also make journal entries based on Manufacturing Order variance (when option Post variance on Manufacturing Order closure is set in General Settings).
You can check possible status changes here.
You can also use a mass Manufacturing Order status change tool to change the status of many Manufacturing Orders at once.
