Work Orders

The Work Orders page is where you manage all production orders. A work order represents a manufacturing job: it records which item is to be produced, for which customer, how many are planned and what time frame applies. From a work order you can drill into its positions (Bill of materials lines and operations), track progress and close the order once production is complete.

2.The list opens showing all open work orders by default (filter Closed = Open is pre-set).

Click any row to open the Work order detail page, or click (+) in the toolbar to add a new one.

The filter bar above the grid lets you narrow down the list. Type in the search box to search across Sales Order, Item and Customer Name at once. Use the individual filter fields for more precise control.

Tip: The list opens with Closed = Open pre-set so you only see active work orders. To review completed orders, change the Closed filter to Closed or clear it entirely to see all orders.

Tip: Use the navigation arrows in the detail page header to step through work orders one by one without returning to the list. This is useful when you need to review or update a series of orders in sequence.

Note: The Production section fields (Work Time, Target Time, Receipt Count, Overhead, Closed, Locked) are all read-only. They are updated automatically when production postings and goods receipts are entered — you cannot edit them directly on the work order.

Tip: To see all columns available in the list — including Priority, Project, color and the audit trail fields — open the column settings panel with the settings button in the toolbar and switch on the columns you need.
