Activate Update and Release Version for each Order Type

In this IMG activity you can activate updating of the information structures in the Shop Floor Information System.

In addition, you can also define the release version for the production orders on the header, item or operation level.

The release version is the version at the time of the release.

The specifications that you can make in this activity are dependent on the respective plant and order type.

If production orders are often changed during their processing, the target and actual values become more and more similar, so that the target/actual deviation can no longer be calculated reliably.

By using a release version you can combat this problem.

If you have defined a release version, the following key figures are updated (from communication structures):

All subsequent updates will then refer to these key figures. This will modify these key figures and those dependent on them in the communication structures.

2. Select Goto -> Details.
3. Set the update indicator.
4. Select the level on which you want to define the release version.
