A batch status indicates that this is a firm planned order entered in batch. This method speeds up processing for large numbers of orders. The system does not create and explode bills or routings for these orders until their status changes. As a result, MRP does not recognize any component demand.
Enter batch work orders manually as needed, or create them automatically for routable components when changing the order status to Allocated or Released. Use Multiple WO Status Change (16.8) to change order status at the appropriate time.
You cannot record inventory transactions or labor feedback against a batch order.
