An authorization detailing specific work that is to be done on the shop floor
You create and release shop orders for product on the shop floor (see Creating and Releasing Shop Orders). Each shop order is identified by a unique shop order number. When shop orders are released to the shop floor, the system assigns a unique SFC number to each unit in the shop order.
A shop order can have the following attributes:
Status
ERP Order
Order Type
Production Version
Planned Material (see Material)
Planned BOM (see Bill of Material (BOM))
Planned Routing (see Routing)
Planned Work Center (see Work Center)
ERP UOM
LCC (see Labor Charge Code (LCC)
Priority
Build Qty
Planned Start
Scheduled Start
Customer Order (see Customer Order)
Unreleased Qty
Planned End

For more information, see Shop Order Maintenance and Shop Order Table.
You can view and change system rules that determine what happens when the system releases shop orders and when orders are finished or closed on the shop floor in System Rule Maintenance (see Order Rules).
If you use the SAPMEINT component, see Integration of Production Orders, Integration of Planned Orders (Repetitive Manufacturing), and Transfer of RMA Service Order.
There are no restrictions on updating an existing shop order as long as it has not been released.
Once a shop order has been released, it is no longer possible to assign a different material, BOM or routing to the shop order.
For SFC numbers belonging to the shop order, Change Production can be used to assign a different BOM, routing or shop order to the SFC number (see Change Production).
