Automatic M-orders from Stock Orders

Under this section you will find settings that apply when the system automatically generates manufacturing orders from stock orders.

Create manufacturing order from stock order

Here you can choose if a manufacturing order should be created automatically based on the order rows of a stock order. This would then take place when the stock order is saved. The available alternatives are:

• Do not create M-order - If you select this option, no manufacturing order rows will be created.
• Create M-order - If you choose this alternative the stock order will, when it is saved, open the Register Manufacturing Order procedure with a new manufacturing order containing new order rows corresponding to the order rows of the stock order.

Create M-order by default in Register Stock Order?

If you select to create a manufacturing order from the stock order, this setting will determine that the alternative to automatically create manufacturing orders from a stock order is the default selection in the Register Stock Order procedure.

Project number entered as

If you have selected to create a manufacturing order from the stock order, you can also choose how the project number should be configured on the manufacturing order. The available alternatives are:

• Empty - No project number is entered for the created M-order.
• Stock order number - The stock order number for the stock order you save will be configured as the project number for the M-order that is created.

Manufacturing order number entered as

If you have selected to create a manufacturing order from the stock order, you can also choose how the M-order number should be configured. The available alternatives are:

• From number series - The M-order number is taken from the Number Series, just as when an M-order is created manually.
• Stock order number + Position number - The order number on the M-order rows are the same as the stock order number + the position number for the stock order row. For example, for customer order 123456 row 2 (Pos. 2) the M-order number will be 123456-2 on the corresponding M-order row. Please note that the manufacturing order (M-order) number can be a maximum of 20 characters.

Allow edit of M-order number on stock order rows

If you activate this setting it is possible for you to edit the M-order number on stock order row in the Register Stock Order procedure.

Please note that it is not possible to edit the manufacturing order number if the setting Show max. quantity, under Requirements Planning in the Inventory tab in this procedure, has also been activated.
