Production Status Changes

When the status on the production ID or production schedule is changed, these actions occur:

Status Action

Entered (new order)

Creates a header record, but an operation list or component list is not created. In addition, a display-only output list is created.

Entered to Firmed

Creates frozen operation and component list.

Entered to Released

Creates operation and component list.

Firmed (new order)

Creates header, operation list, and component list.

Firmed to Released

Status change only.

Firmed to Entered

Deletes operation list and component list.

Released (new order)

Creates header, operation list, and component list.

Released to Entered

Deletes operation list and component list.

Released to Firmed

Status change only.

Rework Production

Rework production works in a manner similar to regular production, but with several exceptions. Add rework production IDs for current production in the Released status. The system automatically creates the component list using the rework BOM for rework production IDs, and it copies the end item to be reworked to the component list. The system assigns the kit issue method to the end item to be reworked when the component list is created and uses the issue method set at the production area and item level for each additional component. The default issue method is set on the Define Business Unit Item - Manufacturing page and can be overridden on the Production Area - Item Detail page. If the item has a rework routing defined, the system copies the routing to the operation list. Create rework production IDs with the Firmed status for production scheduled for future dates. The system creates frozen rework component lists and operation lists.

Teardown Production

You cannot create teardown production IDs in the Entered status; you must create them with a status of Firmed or Released. The system assigns the kit issue method to the end item to be torn down when the component list is created and uses the issue method set at the production area and item level for each additional component. The default issue method is set on the Define Business Unit Item - Manufacturing page and can be overridden on the Production Area - Item Detail page. The system creates the teardown output list, either by copying the components on the original production ID or by using the teardown components designated on the BOM.

Effect of Serial Genealogy on Rework or Teardown Production

If you're using serial genealogy, the serial association occurs when the assembly item is issued to the production through kit issues or the picking process. You are prompted to enter the serial ID that is issued to the rework or teardown production ID.
