How to enforce strict operation sequence in Production Orders (D365FO)?

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 21

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a way to enforce a strict sequence of operations in the production process in D365 Finance & Supply Chain Management.

Business requirement:
Operation 20 should not be allowed to start until Operation 10 is finished
In other words, each next operation must be blocked until the previous one is fully completed.

Current behavior:
With the standard setup, I can start and even finish the last operation without starting or finishing the previous ones. This breaks the logical production flow.

Is there a standard configuration, parameter, or production control setting in D365FO that enforces a strict operation sequence? Or does this require a customization?

Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

    You need to use the Parameters under Production Control > Setup > Manufacturing Execution > Production order defaults:
     
    If you select Validate startup quantities, you can configure the validation method to be based on the Previous operations quantity being started or RAF'd. This is mostly used in conjunction with the Production floor execution interface or Job card terminals, but should suit your scenario. Please let me know if it works.
