Depending on the routes you have enabled for a product and the Replenishment trigger, AccelGrid automatically creates a manufacturing order where there is a demand.
For products that have the Manufactured route enabled, a manufacturing order for the additional quantities required to meet the demand is immediately triggered when either:
A sales order for the product is confirmed.
A manufacturing order for another product that contains this product (Multi-level BoM) is confirmed.
To automate manufacturing orders, go to Inventory -> Operations -> Replenishment menu and click on the Create button. Select the product and set it up as follows:
Preferred Route: Manufacture
Trigger: Auto
Minimum: 0
Maximum quantity : 0
If the product is already waiting for a replenishment (a confirmed sales order or manufacturing order), you will see a line item for the product in the list. In this case, simply click on the Automate Orders to automate the manufacturing order for future demand.
To display the Trigger field in the columns, enable it from the field list.
