Field help (MFGMOD1)

Use this field to define the release mode for this work order. The transaction you select determines which of the following values are available for selection and what controls are applied to your selected value:

• Complete. Both components and routing operations are mandatory for this work order. The list of components from the bill of materials (BOM) record and the operations in the routing will be loaded automatically. The default order for the list of components reflects the order of the components in the BOM, but can be amended.
• Materials only. Initially, only components are mandatory for this work order. If the selected transaction is set to 'To be completed' you must define a routing number before you can start tracking this work order; you can release this work order without routing information if the selected transaction is set to 'Complete'.
• Operations only. Initially, only routing operations are mandatory for this work order. If the selected transaction is set to 'To be completed' you must define material (component) requirements before you can start tracking this work order; you can release this work order without material requirements if the selected transaction is set to 'Complete'.
