1. In the Search box, enter Sales Orders, and then choose the related link.

2. Select the sales order that represents the production project.

3. On the Navigate tab, in the Plan group, choose Planning.

4. In the Sales Order Planning window, on the Actions tab, in the Functions group, choose Create Prod. Order.

5. In the Create Order from Sales window, in the Order Type field, select Project Order.

6. Choose the Yes button.

7. In the Search box, enter Production Orders, and then choose the related link. Open the production order just created.

   The Source Type field of the production order contains Sales Header and the order has multiple lines, one for each sales line item that must be produced.

8. On the Navigate tab, in the Plan group, choose Planning to open the Order Planning window.

9. On the Actions tab, in the Functions group, choose Refresh to calculate new demand.

The order header line for the project order is displayed with all unfulfilled demand lines expanded under it. Although the production order contains lines for several produced items, the total demand for all production order lines is listed under one order header line in the Order Planning window, and the original customer name is displayed. You can now proceed to plan for the demand as described in How to: Plan for New Demand.

Note

Demand lines in the project production order that have Prod. Order in their Replenishment System field represent underlying production orders. After you have generated these production orders, you must again calculate a plan in the Order Planning window to identify any unfulfilled component demand for them. In that case, they are displayed as demand lines under a normal production order header line, meaning, the project relation is no longer visible in the window. However, if you are using the Order Tracking feature, then you can look back and forth to all supply orders made under the original sales order.
