Here you enter the order number if this must be entered manually. As standard, the system loads an order number from the consecutive number series, and you can leave the field empty. By deactivating the Get order number by default from number series? setting under Orders under the Manufacturing tab in the Settings procedure, you can choose not to load order number by default from the number series.
If you have set terms for the order number in the preparation, they will be taken into account here. Read more about how terms and conditions affect manufacturing orders under Alternate Preparations and Manufacturing Order.
If you select an existing order number from the order register, the window will be changed to Replan existing order. The settings related to the registration will be greyed out and the option checked in the middle of the tab will change from Register to Replan existing.
Manufacturing orders can be created automatically from customer orders. You can then determine that the manufacturing order number shall be taken from the number series or to configure it as the customer order number plus the position number. This is determined by settings that you will find under Automatic M/P orders from Customer Orders and Service Orders under the Sales tab in the Settings procedure. Please note that the manufacturing order number can have a maximum of 20 characters.
