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.
Delete

 Deletes the selected record(s). When clicked, users will be prompted with: "Are you sure you want to delete the selected records?". Click "OK" to confirm, or "Cancel" to return without deleting. 

WARNING: Records cannot be recovered once they are deleted! 

(lightbulb) If the selected Production Order transaction(s) have associated Production transactions, then the user will be unable to delete the Production Order transaction(s).

EditOpens the selected record for editing. If a record is not selected, the page will either not open or will open the first record (depending on how the page was coded). 
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. 
Mass Update

Opens the mass update dialog, which allows to mass update the following properties: 

  • Status - If there has not been any Production recorded against the production order, then it can be changed from the current status (including Recurring) to any status other than In Process.  If Production has been recorded against the production order, then it can be changed from the current status to any status other than Recurring. 
More Actions

 Displays a drop down menu of related actions. The list of options includes:

  • Record ProductionSaves the Production Order and opens the newly created Production transaction from the transaction class specified in the 'Related Production Transaction Class' on the Production Order Transaction Class record view.  The newly created Production transaction will include all lines from the Production Order's Input and Output tabs. The quantities (Units and Weight) on the Production transaction will be defaulted as "0.00".

    (lightbulb) This button is disabled when the Status is 'Closed'.

New

 Allows users to select the type of transaction or record they want to add.

Notes

 Opens the Notes dialog, filtered for the appropriate Note Type(s). From here, users can add, review, or edit Notes associated with the record. This icon is always enabled. Three Note Types (Internal, Production Instructions and Attachments) will be displayed for Production Order transactions. 

Print 

 Opens the Print dialog window, where transaction and/or analysis reports can be downloaded, printed and/or emailed. 

When clicked, all the Reports that launch from the Print Dialog that are assigned to this page, and that the user has rights to (if Report Data Access is enabled) are displayed.

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.
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.

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 List View include:

Recurring: This status is used to signify a "source" production order that can be cloned to make new Production Orders.  It cannot be used to record production and are never included in the Available Balance calculations. While in the Status of 'Recurring', all editable fields are open for edit.

New: This is the default Status for all new Transactions. While in the Status of 'New' transactions are considered open and all editable fields are open for edit, no posting or approval validations are performed, GL Dates are not assigned, and journal entries are not created. If the transaction was moved back from Approved to New, the GL Date will be assigned and a Journal Entry will exist.  

Scheduled: This status is used to signify that the transaction is visible on the Production Schedule. While in the Status of 'Scheduled', 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.

In Process: This status is automatically updated when one or more Production transactions have been created and linked to the Production Order transaction. 

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.

The lookup contains all the values in the IMProductionOrderStatus Enumeration Class. 

Note: Production Orders in a status of 'Recurring' cannot be used to record Production. Production transactions created from the Record Production button will always be created in a status of 'New'.
