Planning a production Order.
The first step of the planning process is to create or generate a production order which can only be created for products with a production BOM. Production orders can be generated in three ways; manually, through a sale order, via Smart Reordering.
Check if the required component and resources are available to work out how long it will take to process. Planning the production order finalizes which components and resources are needed (Finished goods can also be included as a component in the production order).
