In general, you have to distinguish in production planning
between produce to order and serial production. When looking
at production-oriented companies you can often find a mixture
of both.
The elementary information source within production
planning ist the requirement category. The user defines by
means of the requirement category how a planned requirement
is used.

Production Orders
Product description and Goals
Production orders are orders for internal goods and services.
They comprise both technical and operational product / activity
information. Production orders are the basis of adjusted costing
because the actual produced activities are illustrated.
Start of Production Orders
Production orders can be started manually (e. g. overhead
orders, repair orders and so on) or by transferring planned
orders from the material requirements plan. When starting
production orders
the valid BOM will be copied into the production order as production BOM
the valid routing will be copied into the production order as production routing
