Turn customer demand into a released production plan with a checked resource and quantity.
Planner checks the customer order and its item lines, required date and lifecycle state. Resolve the intended product and quantity before preparing production. Keep a cancelled order visible during the review so an earlier draft cannot carry it unnoticed into release.
Planner selects the product, order and resource, enters the planned quantity and sets the start and end dates. The work order remains Draft while the team checks availability. Inspect the resource's daily capacity and whether it is Available, in Maintenance or Unavailable.
Planner invokes the production release action. It validates the order lifecycle and moves eligible work from Draft to Released. Product, planned quantity and material requirements become the settled production basis.
Operator checks the released work order before preparing material issues and production intervals. Planner follows the same work through quality review and eventual completion, with Quality Reviewer responsible for the later accepted-output decision.
