Generating production orders from production advice
Menu path
Manufacturing ➔ To be processed ➔ Production advice
Introduction
You
can generate production orders from the planning advice in the MRP overview. Based on the Material Resource Planning (MRP) scenario or current stock level, you can create production orders
for manufactured items that have no or insufficient stock. This function is
used to replenish items that are produced from a Bill of Materials (BOM)
according to order requirements, or their minimum or maximum stock
levels.
Description
The MRP
overview provides a materials requirement plan of the available stock, quantity
received, and quantities to be delivered for a selected item over a particular
period. You can use this overview to monitor materials requirement versus stock
levels, and to replenish materials that are facing shortage.
The
MRP overview will be displayed when you click the Display button from
the menu path. You can filter the production order items that you want to display. Click
Advanced to specify the filtering
criteria to search for the production order items. To view the MRP, you need to
define one or more of the following criteria and click Refresh to display the production
orders based on the selected criteria.

Click this to

various details about the item such as available stock, free stock, purchase
order, batch quantity, and suggested production quantity (Advice column).
Note: You
can only proceed to the Generate
production orders screen if the
item is a manufactured item (if the Make attribute is selected in item
maintenance at Manufacturing ➔ Setup ➔ Items). Otherwise
you will receive a message that says “Must be: Make item”. You also need to have the E-Manufacturing module.
For
a manufactured item, the main version of the BOM is selected by
default. Different versions of bill of materials are also displayed for the
manufactured item but they are not selected by default. If you want to select a
different version of a BOM, you can select the required version in
the production order screen (Manufacturing ➔ Entries ➔ Production
orders).
