## Overview

Use the Production Order form to investigate a project order, review its associated production information, and progress a confirmed project order to fulfillment when it is ready. Project managers use this process when an order must be reviewed across project handling and purchasing preparation views. The form can show product usage information, including **Product, Used qty, Returned qty**, and **Unit**.

## Before you start

- You must have access to Projects Management order views.
- Have an order reference or another way to identify the relevant order.
- The project order must be confirmed before you can progress it to fulfillment.
- Access to the project, shipping-order, and delivered-order views is required to progress a confirmed project order.

## Steps

1. Open the complete project order list by selecting **All**.

   Use the complete list to locate the required order. The list can display order details such as **Sheet no., Job no., P.M Responsible, Order date, Item description**, and **Expected**.

2. Select the required order, and then select **Projects-Management record** to open the associated project-order information.

3. Review the production order information. Where product usage lines are available, review the **Product, Used qty, Returned qty**, and **Unit** values to understand the recorded usage for the order.

4. When the project order is confirmed and ready to proceed, select **Status update**. This progresses the confirmed project order to fulfillment.

## All

The **All** view displays the complete project order list. Use this view as the starting point when you need to find an order by its identifying order details and open its associated project-order information through **Projects-Management record**.

## Planned (BOM)

The **Planned (BOM)** view shows orders in the internal-handling view. Use this view to review orders that are being handled internally and to examine the available order information, including project and item description details.

> **Note: Planned (BOM)** identifies the internal-handling view. It does not replace the complete list available from **All**.

## To Order (MRQ)

The **To Order (MRQ)** view shows orders that require a purchasing request. Use this view to identify project orders that require purchasing action and to review their visible order details before continuing the applicable purchasing process.

> **Tip:** Use **To Order (MRQ)** when the order requires a purchasing request; use **Planned (BOM)** for orders in internal handling.

## Tips & cautions

> **Warning:** Select **Status update** only after the project order is confirmed and the required project, shipping-order, and delivered-order views are available.

> **Tip:** Start in **All** when you have an order reference and need to locate the order before reviewing its project-order information.

## Troubleshooting

- The required order is not visible in the current view → You may be viewing a filtered stage rather than the complete list → Select **All** and locate the order from the complete order list.

- The project order cannot be progressed → The order may not be confirmed, or the required project, shipping-order, and delivered-order views may not be available → Confirm that the order is confirmed and access the required views before selecting **Status update**.

- An order requires purchasing action → The order is awaiting a purchasing request → Select **To Order (MRQ)** to view orders requiring a purchasing request.

## Result

The selected project order has been reviewed and, when confirmed, progressed to fulfillment.
