Operations Menu - Production Order - Move in Queue

This page describes the 'Move in Queue' function on the Operations menu in the Production Order record window. If you are using iOS or Android, the 'Move in Queue' function is on the Tools menu (with 'wrench' icon).

---

When you mark the Production Order as Accepted or Started and save it, it will be placed at the end of the queue for the Machine. Use this function if you need to move it to a different position in the queue.

When you choose this function, the 'Specify Move in Queue' window will appear, showing the existing Queue Position:

Enter the new Queue Position and click the [Run] button. The Production Order will be moved to the new position, which will be shown in the Queue Pos field.

When you Finish a Production Order, the Queue Pos field will be made blank, thus removing the Production Order from the queue. The Queue Positions of the later Production Orders in the queue will not be updated (e.g. number two in the queue will remain number two, even though there is no longer a number one). Therefore it is recommended that you produce a Production Queue report for the Machine before using the 'Move in Queue' function, to ascertain the Queue Positions of all Production Orders in the queue. This will allow you to move the Production Order to the correct position in the queue.

If the function does not update the Queue Position when expected, the probable reasons are:

  1. The Status of the Production Order is not Accepted or Started.

  2. Changes to the Production Order have not been saved.
