Sites represent Plants, Warehouses, Distribution Centers, or virtual objects that are used to store and/or maintain perpetual inventory balances.

The lookup contains a list of all active Sites.

Production Order Status

Used to select one or more Statuses. This is a multi-select standard lookup that is required to return results. It defaults to all Statuses.

Status is used to identify where a transaction, Purchase Order, Price List, BOM, or Master File record is in its life cycle. Records start in a Status of 'New' and progress sequentially through additional statuses until they are 'Posted' or 'Closed'. The list of potential Statuses changes depending on the transaction type. The Statuses that apply to transactions in this Inquiry include:

Open: This is the default Status for all new records. While in the Status of 'Open', all editable fields are open for edit.

Released: This status is used to signify that the transaction is ready to be released to production. While in the Status of 'Released', all editable fields are open for edit.

Closed: Used to indicate that the record is no longer open to be used on other transactions. Closed records are only visible from inquiries, not list views.

Toolbar IconsDescription
Column Filter Show/Hide Toggles between displaying and hiding a filter row in the grid under the column headers. The filter row will be displayed by default if the Quick Column Filter is also implemented in the page. When enabled, this will allow users to type in text to filter by a specific column.
Excel Exports the contents of the grid to an Excel file that will automatically download. The contents that export are those that are visible to the user. Therefore, if the user has filtered the view, or excluded columns, only the contents in the grid will be exported. 
Favorites Clicking on the star icon when it is an outline, adds the page to the 'My Shortcuts' tab and fills in the star. Clicking on the star icon when it is filled in (solid color), removes the page from the 'My Shortcuts' tab and returns the icon to an outline. 

(lightbulb) Users must log out and back in before the pages will be visible in the 'My Shortcuts' tab.

Group By Show/Hide Toggles between displaying and hiding a row in the grid above the column headers to enable grouping by one or more column(s). Once displayed, users may drag and drop column headers to group by a specific column. Once the grid is grouped by a column(s), a subtotal footer row will display in the grouping for columns that have a page footer total. 
Help Opens the online WIKI help page for the current page. 
Quick Column Filter Used to filter across all columns in the grid. When the user types text into the Quick Column Filter text box, the grid's Filter Row will be automatically hidden. The text in the Quick Column Filter text box automatically replaces any existing Filter Row filters. The results of the data immediately refresh as you enter text.
Refresh Re-queries the contents of the grid/page based on the Search Options or the default values for grids that do not support Search Options. 

(lightbulb) This ONLY re-queries the contents of columns that are currently visible, if you add a new column the contents will be empty until you click 'Refresh' again.

Saved Layouts Displays the column layout lookup and related icons. This tool allows users to select a previously saved layout, create a new layout, save changes to a layout, forget/delete a layout and/or assign a saved layout as the default for the page. Once changes are made to the layout, such as columns are added or removed, the user can click the Save Layout icon and save the changes to the column layout. The visibility of the Filter Row is also saved with a saved layout. The new layout can also be set as the default. This is useful for creating specific views to separate master files or transaction types (i.e. Invoice specific vs. Credit Memo specific).  Default layouts can be removed by clicking the 'Set as Default' button again when the current default layout is selected.  

Please note that existing saved grid layouts will display the Filter Row as hidden by default.

Search Options Toggles between displaying and hiding the Search Options portion of the page.

Actual Input

Identifies the total number of inputs, based on the UOM of the Production Order transaction, entered on the Input tab of all associated Production transactions. This field can be edited by adding or editing the 'Units' or 'Weight' field for a line item in the Input tab of the associated Production transaction's record view. Since the user may record production multiple times, there may be more than one Production transaction associated with a Production Order transaction. This is a calculated field and not stored in the database.

Actual Output

Identifies the total number of outputs, based on the UOM of the Production Order transaction, entered on the Output tab of all associated Production transactions.  This field can be edited by adding or editing the 'Units' or 'Weight' field for a line item in the Output tab of the associated Production transaction's record view. Since the user may record production multiple times, there may be more than one Production transaction associated with a Production Order transaction. This is a calculated field and not stored in the database.

Note: Items with a line type of "By-Product" will not be included output and yield calculations.
