Completing a Production Order

When production orders are complete, you must mark them as complete before their completed items can be allocated to sales orders. Production orders that must be marked as complete are listed as production orders in progress on the Production tab.

Once a production order is marked as complete, its production status changes to "Complete" and it is no longer listed as a production order in progress on the

Production tab. If the completed production order is associated with a sales order line, the backorder associated with the manufactured kit item on that sales order line is filled. Once this occurs, you can pick the item using the Warehouse tab in Action Queues and ship it. Alternatively, you can wait until all production orders associated with the sales order are complete. Once this occurs, the status of that sales order changes from " Backorders exist" to "Pending Pulling All Items".

Note: When a production order is completed you cannot add new production lines.
