Production work order (PWO) application
The Production work order (PWO) application is a hands-on planner tool for Production work orders (PWO). The Production work order (PWO) application is accessed via the Production work orders (PWOMENU) and the Production work order (PWO) application by selecting the intended Production work order (PWO) from the list, or via the Production planning (PRODPLAN) application by clicking on the Production tab and selecting the intended Production work order (PWO) or creating a new one by clicking the Create PWOCREATE icon in the lower left corner.
The Production work order (PWO) application was created for the planner to streamline and centralize all the required information to manage production from a single screen.
