What is the trigger to change the status in Production Order; from Released to Active and from Active to Completed. When I reported operations completed, sometimes the status is changed from Released to Active; but sometimes the status is still in Released. Please advise.

Thanks,

Question

If hours are backflushed or reported it is Active

Active Status: Hours have been accounted for the production Order.


Thx,
Dheerendra

Dear Question,

Whenever any work started on the Production order (Issues of any material to production Order or Operation completed) the status will be changed from released to Active.

Once you do the report orders complete the quantity will be posted to inventory and the status will be changed from active to Completed.

Dear Question,


As u started the first transaction to any order the status changed release to active and as u post the output item u can change the status of order active to complete.

The bottom line is trigger of material isssue from store changes the status from release to active.

hi,

its your material issue procedure.If bom material is not initiate then production order will remain released.

Any WIP transaction (Material issue and hours booking) will change the status from released to active.

As someone posted above, when hours are either reported or backflushed, the status goes from released to active. It does not necessarily get done when the order is reported complete depending on how you issue hours and the settings of your parameters to backflush (if you do), whether automatic, manual or interactively. The hours are the driving factor no matter if your materials are issued.

When the you report the order Complete in Report Production Orders Complete, the status changes to Complete. I think there are flags in both hours accounting and Report Operations Complete to change the status as well. In this case, it's the flag Complete Yes or No that makes the change in status regardless of whether or not you issue any quantity complete. The order will stay active unless you change the flag to Complete = Yes.
