The shortage status on production orders uses five values: blank, complete pick, conflict pick, partial pick, and no pick, plus an error status. The status tells you whether you have enough components in stock to produce a production order.
Production order shortage status is simpler than sales order status because it ignores the stock of the top-level item you are about to produce. It only looks at component availability.
Complete pick means you have enough components and none of them conflict with other demands. Conflict pick means you have enough for this order but not enough to cover all production orders at once. Partial pick means every component can supply at least some quantity, so you can produce at least one item. No pick means at least one component has no stock at all. The error status indicates a calculation problem, such as an uncertified bill of materials or a calendar that has not been calculated.
How production order shortage status differs from sales order status
The shortage status works a little differently on production orders than on sales orders. On a sales order, the status first looks at the top-level item on stock to check whether it is available, and then it looks down through the hierarchy of components when possible.
On a production order, the logic is simpler. You have no interest in the stock of the item you are about to produce, since the whole point is to make it. The status therefore only considers the components needed to complete the production order.
The shortage status values on production orders
Blank means no shortage has been calculated yet, or the outstanding quantity on the line is blank.
Complete pick means there are enough items in stock to cover the component demand for the production order, and none of the components will conflict and run out of stock against other demands.
Conflict pick means there are enough items in stock to cover the component demand for that specific production order, but there are not enough components to cover all demands across all production orders.
Partial pick means there are enough items in stock to cover the component demands at least partially. Every component can supply at least some quantity, so you can produce at least one item.
No pick means at least one of the components has no stock at all. In practice this means you cannot produce even a single item.
Error means there is a problem in the calculation. This could be a bill of materials that is not certified, a calendar that has not been calculated, or a similar issue.
Q&A
Why is production order shortage status simpler than sales order status?
On a sales order, the status first checks the top-level item on stock and then looks down through the component hierarchy. On a production order, you have no interest in the stock of the item you are producing, so the status only considers component availability.
What is the difference between conflict pick and partial pick on a production order?
Conflict pick means you have enough components for this specific production order, but not enough to cover all production orders at once. Partial pick means every component can supply at least some quantity, so you can produce at least one item.
What does no pick mean on a production order?
No pick means at least one component has no stock at all, so you cannot produce even a single item.
What causes an error status on a production order?
An error status indicates a problem in the calculation, such as a bill of materials that is not certified or a calendar that has not been calculated.
