This parameter is used with work orders. Use it to prevent closure of a work order if one, or both of the following circumstances are detected:

  • The quantity of components required to manufacture the product have not been tracked in full. The Remaining quantity field is not zero or blank for one or more components.
  • The progress and status of an operation required to manufacture the product is not complete and closed.

Production tracking


Blocking outstanding materials and operations - This is the default value for this parameter. A work order cannot be closed if one component line has an outstanding quantity against it, or if one routing operation remains incomplete and has not been closed.

No control - No controls are required. A work order can be closed without checking for outstanding component quantities or incomplete routing operations. A warning is however displayed if either of these circumstances are detected.

Blocking outstanding materials - A work order cannot be closed if one component line has an outstanding quantity against it. Incomplete routing operations that have not been closed are ignored.

- A work order cannot be closed if one routing operation remains incomplete and has not been closed. Any component line with an outstanding quantity against it is ignored.
