Admin and System Settings Company setting contain the parameters that determine the operation of the system. Also, the lists for the choices on the drop-down lists from through out the system are specified here. The reason for specifying the choices in on the drop down lists in the company settings area is to ensure that all your users work consistently with company policy. For instance, if your company supports payment terms of only ‘30 days net’ and ‘14 days -2%’, then it is not possible for any user to select any other alternative when creating a sales order.Admin and System Settings

Production When creating a new work order, the user is prompted to select from planned operation elements from the planning system. Each of these operation elements is created by a sales order or by a work order of a product higher in the production process. Each element is based on the operation template for the manufactured item. In this way it is possible to closely tie work orders to customer sales orders. If the work order quantity is greater than the total for all the elements, then the remaining quantity in the work order is unallocated. This unallocated quantity may be allocated by the resource planning system automatically at any time that the work order is open.Production
