Order Detail
A full editing and analysis page for one production order and its work structure.
Overview
Access: Same as Orders & Products: Admin or orders; never Operator. Roles and access.
Inspect and edit a production order, its work orders, operations, and assignments. Use the notes, timeline, and analysis views to connect the production plan with recorded work.
Users usually open it from the Orders & Products page.
Access
- Visibility: Protected
- Primary routes:
/order-management/:orderId,/orders-products/:orderId
What You Can See
- Order header details such as customer, dates, priority, and notes.
- Work orders, operations, assignments, and analysis views.
- Timeline and note-related context for the selected order.
What You Can Do
- Edit the order header.
- Add, update, or remove work orders, operations, and assignments.
- Analyze the order and review timeline-related context.
- Export or review order-related data in more detail.
Choose a destination marked Work center when an operation belongs at a workplace without an AVA. Assignment details and selection lists identify work centers so you can distinguish them from machines. See Work Centers for the limits of sensor readings.
Read and Organize Operations
Within a work order, use the sort button beside Add operation to sort operations by sequence number. Choose Ascending to review lower numbers first or Descending to review higher numbers first.
In the order operation panel, open Highlight to emphasize fields across the cards. Fields are grouped by Order, Work Order, Product, Operation, Planning, and Assignment. Select details such as priority, due date, or customer to make them easier to find while reviewing an order. The same control is available in the Assignment Planner.
Priority names, numbers, and colors use the company levels configured in the Admin Panel, keeping order management consistent with imports and assignment planning.
Use Group by → Operation to review work by production step, or Group by → Machine to review it by machine. Operation sequence labels help you identify each step in either view.
When creating an order or editing an operation, choose the operation's priority from the company levels. It is independent of the order priority. New operations and operations without a saved value start at 100. A saved value outside the company levels remains selectable. The dashed OP indicator beside an operation's name shows its priority and company colour. Follow Create a Production Order.
Add Notes and Descriptions
Review and edit operation notes and descriptions in Work Order Notes and the order timeline. Empty fields show a prompt indicating where you can add information. Use these fields to leave the instructions and context the next person needs to carry out the operation.
Understand Planned Times and Completion
Operations that use industrial minutes show an Industrial minutes label beside their planned times. The label identifies the time convention used for those values; hover over it to read the explanation. When comparing an imported operation with your source file, also check the time interpretation in the ERP Upload Planner.
An assignment is marked complete when its produced quantity exactly matches its planned quantity. Check those quantities when reviewing completion so work is not treated as finished before the planned amount has been produced.
Read Handed-Over Work
The neutral Handed over badge beside the order status means that some work has continued elsewhere. Hover over it for one line per affected step: good parts already made, the original quantity, and the machine or pool holding the remainder.
A step can show Partly done: 40 of 100 on DMU 50 · 60 left in Hall 2 pool. Once another machine claims it, the line names that machine. After all parts are finished, it shows Done on DMU 50 (40) and DMU 80 (60). These are examples; your quantities and names appear instead.
The first machine's part shows Handed over in assignment rows, the forecast, and analysis. Its recorded times and good parts stay there. The receiving assignment shows its source and the quantity already made. Hover over a handover badge for details and any reason. The step and order remain open while the rest is unfinished, so later steps can still be waiting. To pass work on, follow hand over work in the Planner.
To undo a handover manually, administrators and users with access to the Orders page first delete the waiting remainder. Only do this if it has never started on the other machine. Deleting a part also deletes its recorded times. Before deleting, note the original quantity from Partly done: or the order’s Handed over badge; afterwards, Done on no longer shows it. Then select Edit (pencil icon) in the first machine’s Handed over assignment row. In Edit Assignment, choose Hold, restore Planned Qty to the noted original quantity if known, and select Save. If the planned quantity was unknown, there is no original to restore. The part returns to the first machine’s queue on hold with its times and good parts. Its handover label, the order’s handover badge and the partial-completion line disappear.
Check the Expected Finish
The Forecaster card shows when this order is expected to finish, based on what is happening on the machines now. Updated followed by a date tells you when the forecast was refreshed.
The step count shows how many steps are on a machine. For example, 3 of 5 steps are on a machine means two steps still have no machine; it does not mean three steps are complete. If some steps have no machine or no date, the order will finish later than shown. An amber at risk result means the remaining work barely fits or an earlier step is not planned.
Click the information icon beside Forecaster to open How does the Forecaster work?. The help explains the colours and when expected times can be too early. Reading it does not change dates or queues. See the Forecaster explanation and planning workflow to review the missing details.
Review the step marked This step sets the order's finish. to see which work determines the expected completion. The timing and attention notes help you distinguish this assignment’s delay from the risk to its order. Choose Show in the Assignment Gantt to follow the order and the work holding it up on the timeline.
Read Timeline Details
Hover over an interval or a machine state to read Start, End, and Duration. An interval also shows available order, quantity, and operator information. Machine states explains the machine's activity during the booked interval. A state shows its Reason when one is recorded. Missing values are left out.
Dates and times use day/month/year and hours/minutes. Durations under a minute show seconds only. Hover over the pulse line for readings at that time. A cycle point shows Cycle, Time, and Duration, or Cycles for the hourly count.
Correct Recorded Time Entries
In Order Analysis, the menu for a recorded time entry includes Delete. Review the displayed start and end time before confirming that you are removing the intended entry.
Deletion is permanent. After confirmation, Order Analysis and the related timeline reflect the updated production record.
Customer → Order → Work Order → Operation → Assignment → Interval
| Level | Meaning and identity |
|---|---|
| Customer (Kunde) | Who the order is for; name or customer code. |
| Order (Auftrag) | Overall job; order name, also labelled External Order ID. |
| Work Order (WO / Arbeitsauftrag) | One product and its planned quantity within an order; order + product. |
| Operation (OP / Operation) | One production step; work order + sequence code (Seq / Nr.). |
| Assignment (Zuweisung) | Operation on one machine or hall pool; operation + machine. |
| Interval (Intervall) | Recorded work session; start and end time. |
The External Product ID is the product name. Order and operation priorities are independent. Order Planned dates belong to all operations of an order; Operation Planned dates belong to one step.
Example: An order for 100 housings has a work order for that product, cutting operation 10 and finishing operation 20, machine assignments for each, and intervals recording each run.
Edit Recorded Intervals
With access to this order page, open an interval's menu in the analysis view and choose Edit interval. It opens on Quantities. You can correct good output and both scrap quantities, then use Start and End to change times. Choose Production or Preparation to correct the type. The same interval editor is available in Data Acquisition V3.
The editor opens with saved quantities, including the full counter reading for cumulative entries. On a computer, type quantities, hours, and minutes with the keyboard. Touch screens offer a number pad and time wheels. Review the saved values in the summary and select Save to apply your changes together.
Still running means no end has been recorded. You can no longer end a running interval by entering an end here, or clear an existing end. Stop the interval through the normal Data Acquisition controls. A running interval cannot switch to a type already running on this order. If a running interval cannot be loaded, the editor stays closed and shows The interval could not be loaded. Please try again. Try opening it again.
Follow Correct an Interval for the steps and time checks.
Read Analysis Sources and Averages
Total = Input + Mat. (MA) + Work (AA). Sum / Summ. is a totals row; Avg. / Ø is an average. Auto. in Cycles (Auto. / Planned) means sensor-detected.
Avg. Cycle Duration uses full interval duration / detected cycles; Avg. Production Cycle Time uses production time / detected cycles; Avg. Cycle Time (Operator Input) uses production time / entered quantity. Cycle averages are displayed in seconds. Deviations use actual minus planned, shown in minutes and seconds; negative time deviation means faster.
Check Cycles found outside the intervals and Products more / less produced than detected to investigate sensor-versus-booking differences. For split orders, planned production is calculated against each machine's assigned quantity. Calculations gives worked examples.
Read Downtime Reason Codes
Downtime chart labels include a reason's code when one is set. Short labels may be cut off; hover over a bar or pie slice to read the full name, code, and category. Categories help identify reasons; the charts still group by reason.
See downtime reason settings for how administrators maintain these labels.
When assigning a reason in the timeline, the picker offers only that machine’s available reasons, alphabetically, with any code before the name. Remove label clears a reason. Older labels remain visible even when they are no longer selectable.
