Production Order Execution#

The system state of a Production Order changes throughout the Material process execution. After a Production Order is Created, it transitions to the Released state, then to In Progress, until it finally reaches the Completed state.

Once completed, you can close the Production Order.

Note

If the Material is shipped, its Material Status changes from Completed to Delivered.

Scenario#

This tutorial explores the different system states defined at both Production Order and Material levels, showing how they change according to their system state model. This model defines different transition states depending on the current process flow execution of the Material.

For demonstration purposes, a Flow Path was set up with a sequence of operations to be executed, allowing us to track changes in the system states of both objects, as well as to see the related system functionalities being triggered.

Starting Step#

When a Material is created and assigned to the Production Order, it is automatically placed in the Mixing Step, defined as the Default Start Flow Path.

Screenshot showing the default start flow path for a production order.

Finishing Step#

When material reaches the Packing Step, it is marked as completed, and the Production Order is updated accordingly.

Modeling#

The model used for this tutorial is the same as in the previous section of this tutorial, with a single change made to a specific Step Property of the Packing Step.

Info

To review the configuration model used for this tutorial, see: Production Order Creation

As shown below, the only property that needed to be enabled in the finishing Step to allow automatic completion of the Production Order was Mark Product Completion:

Execution#

For this use case, to explore the system state changes of the Production Order, take into consideration the following steps:

Step Action Notes
1 Given that the Production Order is Created, perform Release. The new system state is Released.
2 Assign an existing Material to Production Order. The new system state is In Progress, and In Progress Quantity is updated.
3 Start processing the Material by performing Dispatch, Track-in, Track-Out and Move Next throughout the Steps of the Flow. When the Material is tracked-out of the last Step, the Production Order changes to the System State Completed.

The video below demonstrates an end-to-end process where a Production Order moves from the Created state to the Completed state.

Master Data#

This is the Master Data file used to create this model.

Note

  • This feature was first made available in version 11.0.
  • The model was created in version 11.1.7.
