hi
The "Start Production" toggle in the general tab of a batch order in Dynamics 365 allows you to control when the batch order is considered to be "started".
If the toggle is set to "No", the batch order will be created, but production operations will not be automatically scheduled until you manually start the batch order by selecting the "Start" action. This can be useful if you want to create a batch order in advance of production and then schedule it to start later.
If the toggle is set to "Yes", the batch order will be created and production operations will be automatically scheduled to start immediately upon release of the batch order. This can be useful if you want to start production immediately upon creating the batch order.
In terms of consequences, the main difference between the two settings is the timing of when production operations are scheduled to start. If the toggle is set to "No", you will need to manually start the batch order at the appropriate time, whereas if it is set to "Yes", production operations will start immediately upon release of the batch order.
In either case, the batch order can be executed and completed regardless of the setting position. The "Start Production" toggle is simply a way to control the timing of when production operations are scheduled to start.
