General details
If you generate a production order from a source document (such as a sales order), its general details are populated automatically from that document. You can edit them if necessary.
To learn about the general details of a production order, see the following table.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Lifecycle status | Status of the production order. Set it to In progress. |
Priority | Order priority. It defines the production order's position in the processing queue. Orders with High priority are fulfilled first. |
Start date | The planned start date of production. |
Due date | The planned end date of production. It affects the fulfillment status of a production order. If the order is not fulfilled before the Due date, it becomes overdue and the status icon color is changed. To learn more, see Monitoring and changing production order statuses. |
Manufacturer | A business unit that manufactures the products. A list of business units is based on the Business units catalog. |
Base document | A source document for a production order. It can be another production order containing components that you need to produce first. It is only available if Process type is not set to Disassembly. It is prefilled when you generate a production order from another document. You can specify a base document manually and then click to import its details. |

Reserve for | A production or sales order that will exclusively use the manufactured products. The reserved products will be unavailable for dispatching under any other documents (such as other sales orders or inventory transfers). The field is prefilled if you generate a production order from another order. It is recommended that you edit this field if you create a production order from scratch. In this case, you can manually specify a reservation order and then click to import its details. It is only available if Process type is not set to Disassembly. |
