Production Order Creation

The Production Order Creation process in PrismERP is the foundational step for initiating manufacturing activities. A production order specifies what products to make, the quantity, the timeline, and the resources required. It acts as the official authorization to start production and drives material allocation, scheduling, and tracking.

Key Features​

  • Order Details Input — Specify product, quantity, production dates, and priority.
  • BoM & Routing Integration — Automatically pulls Bill of Materials and routing for the product.
  • Scheduling — Assign start and end dates based on capacity and resource availability.
  • Work Center Allocation — Allocate machines and labor per order requirements.
  • Status Tracking — Track order progress from creation through completion.
  • Material Reservation — Reserve inventory based on BoM to ensure material availability.
  • Order Modification — Edit order details or quantities before production starts.
