Managing Production Orders
Production Order Header
The Production Order Header in Dynamics 365 Business Central is extended with two new fields: Quantitative Review and Operational Status. These fields help monitor and manage the progress of production orders, ensuring compliance with variance policies and streamlined workflows.
| Field Name | Description | Visibility |
|---|---|---|
| Quantitative Review | Specifies whether a variance review is required before closing the production order. | Available in all statuses except Finished. |
| Operational Status | Indicates the current operational phase of the production order (Pending, Running, Completed, or In Review). | Visible only in the Released Production Order, Released Production Order List, and Change Production Order Status pages when the status is Released. |
Change Operational Status
A new action, Change Operational Status, is available for production orders with the Status = Released. This action allows users to update the operational phase of the production order.
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Running | Sets the Operational Status to Running. Output and consumption can only be recorded for production orders with this status. |
| Completed | Sets the Operational Status to Completed. No further output or consumption is recorded, and variances can no longer be reported. Only orders marked as Completed can be set to Finished. |
| In Review | Sets the Operational Status to In Review. Only users in the Production Manager User Group can assign this status. |
Production Order Lines
The Production Order Lines page is extended with four new fields to improve control over variances and provide better tracking of initial quantities: Variance Policy, Under Output Tolerance (%), Over Output Tolerance (%) and Initial Quantity.
