      <SectionTitle>Origin of production orders</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph>A production order is
		usually generated by a planning algorithm, such as MRP, and is subsequently
		transferred to the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc" role="module">Shop Floor Control</GUIRef> module. You can also manually create production
		orders.</Paragraph>

      <SectionTitle>Processing new production orders</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph>When a new production
		order is created, all data that is necessary for the execution of the
		production order is set up. This data includes the estimated materials,
		planning of operations, warehouse orders, and other data.</Paragraph>

      <SectionTitle>Order status</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph>Production orders go
		through a number of order statuses:</Paragraph>

         <ListItem>
            <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/domains/osta#planned" role="option">Planned</GUIRef>

         </ListItem>

      <Paragraph>and so on. The order status determines which actions can be
		performed on a production order.</Paragraph>
   </GeneralSection>
   <GeneralSection>
      <SectionTitle>Estimated and actual costs</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph>The estimated costs for
		a production order are based on the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#BillOfMateri_ti" role="glossary">BOM</Link> and the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#Routing_ti" role="glossary">routing</Link> (estimated costing).
		During production, the hours that are actually spent and the materials that are
		actually used are posted (actual costing). When the production order is closed,
		the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#Result_ti" role="glossary">result</Link> of the production
		order is calculated.</Paragraph>
