In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, the production order lines, capacity load lines, and operation lines do not refresh automatically when you change the filtering in the header. You have to update each of the three windows manually.
To refresh the data, change the parameters on the General tab in the header, then click Actions and choose to update order lines, capacities, or operations depending on which window you want to refresh.
This manual update is by design. It lets you apply different filtering to each window at the same time, so you can view order lines with one filter while keeping capacity load lines and operation lines on another.
The three production windows update separately
When you work with production orders, you have three different pages available: production order lines, capacity load lines, and operation lines. These are not updated automatically when you change the filtering at the top of the page.
The reason is flexibility. You might want to see order lines with one filtering and calculate those, while looking at the operation lines with a different filtering. Keeping the windows independent makes it possible to combine different views in the same session.
How to update the order lines after changing the filter
After you change the parameters in the header on the General tab, you need to update each window manually. Click Actions, then choose to update order lines, capacities, or operations depending on which of the three windows you want to refresh.
For example, if you want to see only the production order lines that are released, select Released and then update the order lines. This gives you a new picture and overview of just the released lines.
At the same time, the capacity load lines and operation lines will still include orders that are both released and firm planned. In other words, each window holds onto its own filtering until you update it.
What to remember when working with the filters
This setup makes it more flexible to work with production orders, because you are not locked into a single filter across all three windows. The trade-off is that you have to remember to run the update function. If you change the filtering and forget to update a window, that window will keep showing the old data.
Q&A
Why do the production order lines not update when I change the filter?
The three windows are designed to update separately so you can apply different filtering to each. This lets you view order lines with one filter while keeping capacity load lines and operation lines on another. You update each window manually instead.
How do I refresh the production order lines, capacity load lines, or operation lines?
Change the parameters in the header on the General tab, then click Actions and choose to update order lines, capacities, or operations for the window you want to refresh.
What happens if I filter for released order lines only?
When you select Released and update the order lines, that window shows only the released lines. The capacity load lines and operation lines still include orders that are both released and firm planned until you update them too.
