Order & Order Type

Order: Object that defines
-When, where and in which quantities which products are required or available
-Which work steps are necessary for these products and which resources are occupied by them

Order Type:
Key that differentiates orders according to their purpose. The order type contains a range of parameters which affect the way the order is processed. For example, using the order type, we can specify
-The number ranges to be used for the orders
-Which criteria are used when selecting a routing
-How the order is to be costed.

Configuration required

Order type can be defined in Plant Parameters, MRP Group Parameters and Production Scheduling Profile. Based on the field input in the material master, order type will be selected automatically. Different Order Types are maintained to depict the automatic order type selection process for the below.

• MRP Group assignment in MRP 1 view of the Material Master

 

• Production Scheduler and Production Scheduling Profile assignment in Work Scheduling view of the Material Master

 

Order Type Selection Process Flow

Whenever Production order is created, either manually or with conversion of Planned Order, the order type is selected in the following Priority:
