The factory will be closed for a public holiday on Thursday 7th of July.
NOTE: date format is dd/mm/yyyy

Review the Manufacturing Order

2. The source is a sales order
3. The expected duration
4. Has been confirmed
   

The production manager can see that all of the components are available. The scheduled date was set by the sales order. This new job also needs to be properly scheduled.

From the Work Orders tab, the production manager can see that, even though all the parts are available, they have not yet been picked (1).
