Order Management

Definition

Order management, in a manufacturing context, refers to the process of creating, scheduling, and tracking production orders that trigger the generation of batch records. Order management typically originates in an ERP system and, when integrated with an EBR, automatically initiates the corresponding electronic batch record for each production run.

Benefits

Integrating order management with the EBR removes a manual handoff step. Production teams don't need to separately re-create batch record setup information that already exists in the production order, reducing setup errors and saving time at the start of each batch.

Use Case

A production planner schedules a new manufacturing order in the ERP system. Because order management is integrated with the EBR platform, a corresponding electronic batch record is automatically generated with the correct product, batch size, and MBR version, ready for the production team to begin execution.
