Any costs incurred on an order must be posted to the correct ledger accounts. Depending on the financial search path, order types and/or part groups can help make the correct postings.

Note: If financial postings have been made against the production file, you can change the value of the Order type field only if the Allow change of sales type after financial postings check box is selected on the General tab of the Financial form.

When you merge production files or orders, they are produced together. If the selected production file has been merged with one or more other files, and it is produced under another production file or production order code, it shows the relevant code.

If a production file is linked to a project line, this link is visible on the Order information link form in the Projects module, and in the production file itself. This information clearly shows to which project line each component of the order structure is linked. You can open the project line from the Project field.

Use this field to specify a target object. The target subject is the 'recipient' of the part. Examples are a machine for which you deliver spare parts, a building for which you will provide a service, or a plant of which the current part is a component.

If a target object has already been specified in the production order, this target object will automatically be copied to this field. This only works for unplanned issues of object-linked parts.

Example of use of target objects

This field shows the type of preventive maintenance that must be executed.

This check box is selected if the Apply SE factor process has been performed for this file.

This field shows whether the production file relates to long lead-time items. This field is used to warn you when you want to post a receipt against the production file, as receipts must be posted against the file for which the long lead-time item is used.

If you are using a production file for long lead-time items, click the Parts button to add the long lead-time item you want to order.
