In a typical manufacturing environment, there will be three different sets of orders:
- Customer Purchase Orders or Sales Orders (POs from your customers)
- Manufacturing Work Orders or Jobs (internal orders for tracking work within your factory)
- Supplier Purchase Orders (orders you place with your suppliers)
1factory provides two identifiers for each of the above orders:
- For Customer POs: Sales Identifier 1 and Sales Identifier 2 (e.g. Customer PO# and System ID#)
- For Manufacturing Work Orders: Manufacturing Identifier 1 and Manufacturing Identifier 2 (e.g. Job Number, Lot#)
- For Supplier POs: Receiving Identifier 1 and Receiving Identifier 2 (e.g. PO# and Supplier Lot#)
