Create a Cutting Order from a Sales or Transfer Order

Cutting orders can also be created directly from a sales order or transfer order. The document lines provide the Cutting action group with the following functions:

Function Description
Create Cutting Order Creates one cutting order for all selected document lines if no linked cutting order exists for the line.
Create Cutting Order per Line Creates a separate cutting order for each selected document line.
Open Cutting Order Opens the cutting order already linked to the document line.

When creating the cutting order, the following values are transferred automatically:

  • Status: from the Default Cutting Order Status field in the Setup, Released by default.
  • Description: document type and document number of the source document, for example Order: SO-001.
  • Location Code: from the document line.
  • Starting Date: from the requested delivery date of the sales line, if specified.

Only items with the Production Type Cutting Order are considered (see Item Setup). The new cutting order remains linked to the source document.

Note

If a cutting order already exists for a line, the system notifies you and offers to open the existing order.
