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

To create production requests:

  1. Select Work > Production Requests.
  2. Click New Record.
  3. Specify this information:
    Organization
    Specify 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.
    Production Request
    Specify 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.
    Work Order
    Specify the work order with which to associate to the production request.
    Status
    Select the status of the production request.
    Production Priority
    Specify the priority in which the production request should be generated.
    Earliest Start Date
    Specify the earliest date for which production can begin.
    Latest End Date
    Specify the latest date for which production can end.
    Class
    Specify the class for which the production request should be generated.
    Revision Reason
    Specify a reason for the revision of the production request.
    Priority
    Specify the priority of the production request.
  4. 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.
