What is the difference between Simulated/ Planned/ Firm Planned/ Release Production Order in Navision 2018?

Hi Community,

May I ask what is the difference between Simulated/ Planned/ Firm Planned/ Release Production Order in Navision 2018?

Thank you!

In Navision 2018, the different types of production orders include:

Simulated Production Order: A simulated production order is a virtual order that is used to evaluate the production process and assess the resources needed to complete the production. It does not affect actual inventory or capacity and is mainly used for planning purposes.

Planned Production Order: A planned production order is a type of order that is used to plan future production. It is not firm and can be changed or deleted. The planned production order can be used to reserve capacity and materials, but it does not affect actual inventory levels.

Firm Planned Production Order: A firm planned production order is a type of order that has been confirmed and cannot be changed or deleted. This type of order is used to commit to a production plan and is used to allocate resources, such as capacity and materials.

Release Production Order: A release production order is a type of order that is used to initiate actual production. When a production order is released, the inventory levels of the finished product and raw materials are updated to reflect the production process. The release production order is used to track the production process and to manage the production process.

In summary, the difference between these types of production orders in Navision 2018 is based on the level of commitment and the impact on actual inventory and capacity levels. Simulated and planned production orders are used for planning purposes and do not affect actual inventory or capacity, while firm planned and release production orders are used to commit to a production plan and have an impact on actual inventory and capacity levels
