Creating production requests

Create and edit production requests based on open work orders in Infor EAM. When production requests are approved, the system sends the request to Infor ERP so that a corresponding production order can be created.

Once EAM receives the production order the system updates the request with the production order details.

To create production requests:

  1. Open the Production Requests form.
  2. Click New Record.
  3. Organization—Enter the organization for the production request.

    The system automatically populates Revision, Production Order, Production Start Date, Production End Date, Enterprise Location, Accounting Entity, and Created By.

  4. Production Request—Enter a unique identifying code for the production request, and then enter a description of the production request in the adjacent field.
    Note: If Production Request is left blank, the system will automatically populate Production Request.
  5. Work Order—Enter the work order with which to associate to the production request.
    The system automatically populates the work order description.
  6. Status—Select the status of the production request.
  7. Production Priority—Enter the priority in which the production request should be generated.
  8. Earliest Start Date—Enter the earliest date for which production can begin.
  9. Latest End Date—Enter the latest date for which production can end.
  10. Class—Enter the class for which the production request should be generated.
  11. Revision Reason—Enter a reason for the revision of the production request.
  12. Priority—Enter the priority of the production request.
  13. Click Save Record.
    The system automatically populates Date Created.
    Note: To revise the production request, click Create New Revision. The system updates Revision. New revisions can only be created when the production request Status is Approved. The system does not copy Revision Reason to the copy.
