Confirmed as Delayed

If an order has been confirmed as delayed, you can see this symbol in the C del. column.

For a manufacturing order this means that the material will not arrive on time or that there is capacity problem (overload). It is also an indication to other users saying that the order will be delayed.

For a purchase order this means that the supplier will not be able to deliver according to the planned delivery period even though reminders have been sent. This is also an indication to other users in the system saying that the order will be delayed and that there is no use sending reminders to the supplier. A delayed purchase order means that we must try to catch up, for example reduce the affected throughput time and queue days in order to mitigate the effects of the delay.

You can confirm orders as delayed in several places in the system, for example in the Register Purchase Order, Register Manufacturing Order and the Flow Analysis procedures.
