Order Processing

Order processing comprises the central processing steps involved in the life cycle of a process order.

Process planning comprising

  • Process order creation

  • Selecting a master recipe

  • Creating reservations or copying them from planned orders

  • Calculating planned costs

  • Creating capacity requirements for the resources

  • Scheduling

Starting with the basic order dates, the system automatically schedules the process order when you create it. In addition, it can later be rescheduled automatically or manually whenever changes relevant to scheduling have been made.

  • Release of process order

Process order execution and process management

  • Creating and downloading control recipes (optional)

  • Printing shop floor documents

  • Carrying out material withdrawals

Withdrawing material components required in the manufacturing process in the form of goods issues from the warehouse.

  • Recording confirmations

  • Carrying out in-process quality inspections (optional)

  • Posting goods receipts

Delivering the manufactured product to the warehouse by posting a goods receipt.

You only create control recipes during process order execution if you want to use PI sheets and/or process control systems. In this case, you must also select the corresponding components from Process Management.

If you also want to carry out in-process quality inspections for your orders, you must select the relevant components from Quality Management.
