Integration

You can associate shop orders with customer orders or with specific customers.

Note that if you want users to associate every shop order with a customer order, you need to set the Shop Order Requires Customer Order system rule to true in System Rule Maintenance.

End of the note. Done: The system automatically closed this shop order when the build quantity was reached, and all SFC numbers in this shop order had a status of Done, or were scrapped, or deleted. Closed: The user closed this shop order manually. Note You cannot release SFC numbers for a Repetitive shop order after the planned end date, regardless of the status. End of the note.
Order Type	Production: An order to build a specified quantity of a product (material) Repetitive: An order to build a product (material) continually on the shop floor The quantity released can exceed the build quantity specified in a Repetitive shop order. You can release SFC numbers for Repetitive shop orders until the planned end date. RMA: An order authorizing the return of a previously shipped product.

RMA Shop Order Data Type	This field appears only if shop order type is RMA. You can select one of the data types you have assigned to RMA Shop Order category in Data Field Assignment Maintenance (see Data Field Definition and Assignment).

LCC	Labor charge code (LCC) Caution Use only with sites where Labor Tracking is set up (see Labor Tracking). End of the caution. The system assigns this LCC to each SFC number generated on release of this shop order. Leave blank to use the default LCC.
