Working with Production Orders
MRP generates planned orders, balancing supply and demand; however, when scheduling issues arise, you can manually adjust production order quantity, status, dates, and so on when you need to:
• Reduce the quantity to account for a capacity constraint.
• Increase the quantity by merging production orders into a single order.
• Increase the quantity because of an increase in demand during the scheduling horizon.
Important: If you do not do not save your changes, the production order reverts back to its prior condition.
The following topics describe production order tasks that you can perform in MSW.
