| # Creating an Order Group for Planned Orders You can group orders in three different ways: By a range of criteria that you define in the Selection Range group, such as order status, warehouse, or work center. By orders for particular main items or component items: select the Main Item check box or the Material Item check box. If you select the Main Item check box, you can also define criteria for main items in the Main Item Selection Range group on the Options tab. By individually selected orders: click the Spec. Order(s) button to zoom to the Enter Specific Planned Production Orders (cppat4820s000) session to select specific planned production orders. If you wish, you can use tool kit or tool type as an additional selection criterion. For example, in your initial selection, you select all orders with routing 001, then you select all tools of the 'screwdriver' type. The orders to be added to the order group then are all orders with routing 001 and use screwdrivers. After you defined the initial selection, and clicked the Create Group button, you can accept or reject individual planned production orders as part of the order group in the Assign Production Orders to EP Order Group (cppat3151s000) session. If orders within your selection range are already in order groups, you can display them in the Assign Production Orders to EP Order Group (cppat3151s000) session by selecting the Include Grouped Orders check box. However, you cannot include them in the current group, because an order can only be in one order group, unless you first remove the order from its existing group in the Planned Order Group - Planned Orders (cppat1500m100) session.
