Hi, Readers.
Today I would like to share another mini tip about Business Central, how to quickly create Production Orders from Sales Orders.
You can create production orders for produced items directly from sales orders.
We previously discussed how to quickly create Purchase Document from Sales Order (Not Drop Shipment and Special Order).
PS: Business Central 2026 release wave 1 (BC28): Create purchase orders from drop shipments
In fact, you can also create production orders for produced items directly from sales orders. Let’s see more details.
Select Search (Alt+Q) in the upper-right corner, enter Sales Orders, and then choose the related link.
Select the sales order or create a new sales order you want to create a production order for.
Choose the Planning action. The Sales Order Planning page shows the availability of the item.
Choose the Create Prod. Order action.
Select the status and order type.
The following table describes two ways to create production orders.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Item Order | One production order is created for each item represented by a line in the Sales Order Planning page. |
| Project Order | One multiline production order is created for all items represented by lines on the Sales Order Planning page. When you use project orders, the Source Type field of the production order contains Sales Header. The order has one line for each sales line item that must be produced. |
Choose the Yes button to create one or more production orders for the lines that have Prod. Order in their Replenishment System field.
Done.
There is a prerequisite for this feature: the Replenishment System on the Item Card must be set to Prod. Order.
If the Replenishment System is set to Purchase or Assembly, you will get the following error when creating a production order.
There is nothing to plan.
Great. Give it a try!!!😁
PS: Create Production Orders from Sales Orders
Note:
Demand lines that have Prod. Order in the Replenishment System field represent underlying production orders. After you generate these production orders, remember to identify any unfulfilled component demand for them. Use the Order Planning page or the Replan action to identify unfulfilled demand.
When you create production orders for sales orders with the Sales Order Planning page, order-to-order links are applied between demand and supply. When order-to-order links exist, the planning system doesn’t include linked supply or inventory in the balancing procedure. To learn more about balancing, go to Order-to-order links.
END
Hope this will help.
Thanks for reading.
