Create internal production orders

Run the Create internal production orders process to create internal production orders for parts.

The process of ordering stock parts produced by your own company (under an internal production order) is very similar to the process of ordering raw materials or purchase parts from other suppliers. The only difference is that you are the supplier.

Tip: If you select a purchase requirement line that is to be converted into an internal production order, you can also convert the line directly from the Purchase requirement for parts form, provided that the purchase requirement has been authorized. To do so, open the Edit menu from the purchase requirement, and choose Create internal production orders.

The production files created are displayed on the Production files form. The production file will be given the status specified in the Auto-status field on the Production tab of the Default values form. Only a limited number of data can still be changed in production orders.

Note: The 'In production' stock will not be increased until the production file status is advanced to the 'Order' status. Also a production order code will be assigned.

Conditions

Internal production orders can be created only if the following conditions are true:

• A purchase requirement line for the order is present on the Purchase requirement for parts form.
• The purchase requirement line has been authorized for the creation of an internal production order: the Authorization check box is selected and the Type field is set to 'Production order'.
