What is Firmed and Status on work orders? Regarding MRP items and planning workbench.

edited Mar 11, 2024 12:48PM in Ask A Guru 3 comments

Just getting my head around building assembly items that use MRP, how they interact with the planning workbench and how to use it to order the components.

When creating a build order I don't understand the purpose of the Firmed checkbox, could someone explain this further please?

Planned work order status is displayed as either Open or Firmed.

  • Firmed planned work orders are not deleted before supply planning runs.
  • Check this box to firm the order.
  • Open planned work orders are deleted before supply planning runs.
  • Clear this box to keep the order open.

I'm not sure what a supply planning run is to begin with.
