A production order goes through many different steps in its lifecycle. The main steps in order processing are order creation, order release, goods issues, confirmations, and goods receipts. In principle, a production order can be created in many ways, whereby order creation by planned order conversion is typical. When an order is created, the required master data is selected, and the order is scheduled. A corresponding status created is set. With a status created, an order cannot be processed in production. For example, goods movements and confirmations cannot be posted. When an order is released, it is made available to production for processing. A corresponding status released is set. In the released status, goods issues, confirmations, and goods receipts can now be posted, to name a few examples. By posting goods issues and material components to production orders, the corresponding material consumption is recorded and stock quantities and stock values are decreased. Confirmations document the progress of production orders and update actual data in the order. Quantities, activities, and time information can be confirmed. By posting goods receipts for the finished products, the corresponding production quantities are documented and stock quantities, and stock values of the products are increased. In between the main steps, the system offers various supporting functions, for example, availability checks, capacity evaluation and leveling, download to process control, order printing, material staging, and upload from process control. Between order creation and order release, you execute various checks ensuring that the order can be correctly processed. Material availability checks are used to ensure that the required material components are available in the required quantity at the required time. Capacity evaluation and capacity leveling are used to ensure that the work centers required in production are not overloaded, and are used as efficiently as possible. For paper-based production processes, various order-related documents, for example, goods issue slips, confirmation slips, and PRT lists, can be printed after order release. In many companies, manufacturing execution systems are used to orchestrate the flow of the order on the shop floor. In this case, order information is downloaded from the SAP S4 HANA system to the process control system and actual data. For example, material consumption and confirmation data is uploaded in the opposite direction. Before the goods issue postings to the production order are possible, it might be required that the material components must be staged from a central storage location to the production storage location.
