Production work orders list (PWOLIST)
The Production work orders list (PWOLIST) application lists all Production work orders (PWO) in the system, and once a Production work order (PWO) has been selected, the critical information and actions linked to that Production work order (PWO), can be inspected and/or performed.
The main purpose is to have core functionality for Production work orders (PWO) compiled and therefore easily available, serving as an addition or alternative to using all the compiled applications separately.

Overview
The application is divided into three main areas:

Production Work Orders area
Header
The Production work orders list (PWOLIST) application has extensive filtering options, so that users may easily customize the list of production work orders (PWO) according to their needs:
Status filters:
At the top of the application, there are boxes that represent each possible status of a production work order (PWO). It is possible to select multiple statuses at once, and to combine this filter with other filter types to customize the selection of Production work orders (PWO). Items and Qty are automatically refreshed to accurately represent the number of productions of the specified type in each of the statuses.
Quick search:
In the Quick search field, users may search for a Production work order (PWO) by Product name or Production work order identifier. Click the Quick search filter icon and select/deselect the check-boxes to customize if the search should be limited to Product name or Production work order identifier or include both (default).
Quick search filter icon
Extra filters:
The Extra filters button allows for an even granular search, providing the user separate production and service orders along with the option to further filter on:
All
On hold
Cancelled productions
Scrapped productions
Priority productions
