Production Orders

the production order (po) is the central execution operation in mantsu it instructs the shop floor to produce a defined quantity of a finished or semi finished material on a specific equipment within a planned time window how are production orders created? production orders can be created manually in the core manager received via erp integration (or any other api call) orders are managed in the core manager, but execution is performed in the order cockpit an order can consist of one or more operations each operation has its own settings defining whether or not that operations will be executed by the operator at the production line this is handled by the slider 'enable confirmations' on each operation seperatly manual order flow if orders are created manually, the process is as follows create the production order header provide an order number reference, quantity and what material must be produced to be delivered add one or more operations to the production order an operation is a part of the production order it is linked to a specific process on a production cell & equipment an intermediate product might be produced and raw material can be consumed on the operation an operation has a specific start date & time the expected end date & time must also be added enable or disable the "enable confirmations" switch for each operation the first slider of 'enable confirmations' indicates if the operator should perform a handling on this specific operation or not if this slider is not turned on, the operator will not see the operation in the order cockpit the send confirmations switch indicates if the produced units need to be send to erp as confirmed quantities this makes it possible to create virtual operations that are performed in mes but do not necessarily need to be performed in erp the order will now be visible in the 'order cockpit' the operator can start & stop the order this will update the status of the order until it is completed and closed automatic order flow the order is interfaced automatically from erp to mantsu mes the production order message is sent to mantsu mantsu will process the message and will automatically create the production order with the provided details, included operations update of the order by erp if erp sends an update to the order, this will immediately be processed by mantsu the new values will be used in the production order enable or disable the "enable confirmations" switch for each operation this switch indicates if the produced units need to be send to erp as confirmed quantities this makes it possible to create virtual operations that are performed in mes but do not necessarily need to be performed in erp the order will now be visible in the 'order cockpit' the operator can start & stop the order this will update the status of the order until it is completed and closed when the order is started in mantsu, an update of the status will be sent to erp to indicate that it is no longer possible to update the order if changes are required, they need to be performed manually in mantsu certain checks are in place to create an order via the api some of the checks include checking the quantity, the equipment, etc the error messages should make it clear what is missing in case one of the checks have a negative response
