Use this form to organize production orders into groups. You can set up production pools for different categories you are interested in and attach the production order to these categories in order to monitor them as a group. For example, you could monitor orders that have top priority, or you could flag orders that have a particular production status.

You can also attach a production pool to a default posting profile, which will define the method for posting transactions for all orders in the pool. When you create a new production order, you can assign it to a specific production pool.
