    Purchasing components for production and project

    Project management and accounting > Project logistics > Purchasing components for production

    Production control > Inquiries and reports > Purchasing components for production

    In a make to order scenario, it is valuable for the account manager for the customer, or the supply chain manager to have a clear status overview of all components and parts that are needed for the production.

    This form displays concise information on the project, customer delivery name, order number and confirmed ship dates, together with all parts that are purchased directly for the related production order and the sub production orders.

    Green symbols are OK, orange symbols require attention and red symbols are a call to action.

    The button Update order status recalculates the fields Component status, Allocated and Reserved for all production BOM lines of not ended production orders.

    Green symbols are OK, orange symbols require attention and red symbols are a call to action.

    Group by Project and Project activity is possible.

    The button Update status recalculates the fields Component status, Allocated and Reserved, Fail and more for the selected item requirement lines and project-related sales lines.

    The button Firm will turn a planned purchase order (or planned production order) into a real purchase order (or production order).

    The button Supply order opens the related purchase order, planned purchase order, RFQ, production order transfer order etc.
