Overview of Nonstandard Work Orders

Nonstandard work orders are used to initiate rework, repair, prototype work, and other non-regular production activities. It is a type of work order and can be created with or without a work definition. If a work definition is referred, the behavior is same as that of the standard work order. The nonstandard work order is created in Unreleased or On Hold status, if the work definition isn't specified. The next step is to add operations, components, and resources for the operations. After an operation is added to the work order, the work order can be released.

Note: Nonstandard work orders are currently available for only the discrete manufacturing work method.
