Order Management#
The concept of a order management in manufacturing has roots in the earliest organized production systems, where clear instructions were needed to guide the making of goods. It became imperative having a document that could track what was ordered by a given customer and what will be needed to be manufactured accordingly. With the advent of digitalization, most of the methods that were initially adopted (paper sheets, paper labels, among others) have been replaced by digital documents which allow digital traceability on every manufacturing aspect that is tied up to the customer order.
Sometimes, it may be necessary to break-down a large order in multiple lots or batches and to have the flexibility to assign and re-assign lots to different orders. Order Management provides the functionality to track the different customer orders and to fulfill the orders either by assigning work-in-process material, finished goods, or creating new materials for the order.
