Mark the sales order with production order

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi all

I created a sales order and production order that use the same item number, but no matter i tried to mark from production order or sales order, i cannot see the corresponding order each other.

Under what situation the order can be marked ?

Thanks.

    Steve is referring only to master planning.  You can still mark a Sales order to a Production order, in fact a single SO to many WO or many SO to a single WO.  You do not need master planning to create a Production order, either from a Sales order or otherwise, and you did not mention Master planning in your original post.

    Hi Brandon

    I must say that your suggestion fixed my problem, i just wanted to know the solution to correlate the SO and WO besides the "Marking". 

    Thank you and Steve. many thanks.

    Indeed I was, following on from the phrase "Besides the marking functionality, is there any other way that i can manually create the relation between production order and sales order"

    As Brandon correctly states "Marking" is one method, my reference was purely to do with the reference on the sales order directly to the production order which is created through planning (or the inquiries route).

    Apologies if I caused any confusion, was adding to the query half way down (not answering the original).

    That is correct - if you configure the system so that it cannot create the reference link there is no way to manually connect them using the production order reference fields on the sales order. So if your item was "period" coverage and the demand was from safety stock and customer orders there is no 1:1 relationship so it could not make the reference in this manner.

    To know that the production order is directly related and linked to the sales order in the reference you need the item coverage group to be of the type requirement when planning generates the relationship.

    I believe it also used to work from the inquiries button - open the production link and when the screen is empty create it from there.

    Planning is the main one that creates the reference - try it.

    There is no "manual" way of populating those references, the system needs to know it is fluid as it replans (unless it is not and then you would have configured it as requirement :-))

    Hi Steven

    Under some special situation that the system generated order cannot meet my requirement, does it mean i cannot change the relation/marking manually ?

    I personally think Microsoft has made an error in disabling Inventory marking under standard cost.  While marking is used for actual cost to assign issues to receipts, it is also used to connect Sales orders to Purchase orders (directs), Sales orders to Production orders, and Production order lines to other Production orders, and of course Production orders to Purchase orders.  The fact is that the use of marking in the product goes way beyond just costing.  I'd like to hear from Microsoft on this issue, but I'm not willing to pay for the opinion.

    In any case, you can "turn on" marking under standard cost with a simple code change, though you do this at your own risk.  I provide this code for academic purposes only and you accept all risk, etc. etc.

    In the method packTmpMark on Tables\TmpInventTransMark, find the following line --

    includeAll = inventTable.modelGroup().inventModelType().isSettled();

    and change it to

    includeAll = true;

    That should enable marking under standard cost.

    Inventory marking at the movement level is generally available under actual cost models (not standard cost, which is actually a bug in my opinion since marking is still used for Direct delivery orders).  Also both orders must fall within the same inventory dimensions for financial costing (typically site, and often warehouse, but can vary with your configuration).

    Hi Brandon

    I think you are pretty right, that the production order and the sales order that i cannot mark is using the "Standard Cost".

    Why i come out the idea to manually correlate the "Sales order" and "Production order" by marking is because i want to know which production order is for which sales order.

    Besides the marking functionality, is there any other way that i can manually create the relation between production order and sales order ?

    Many thanks.
