SAP MES

⚡ 1-Minute Summary A production or process order is the official factory command to manufacture a set amount of a specific product. The ERP system generates the business demand, while the MES translates that demand into executable tasks on the shop floor. An order links the product, batch ID, volume, Bill of Materials ( BOM ), recipe, scheduling dates, and targeted equipment. Released means the order is cleared for execution.
