Planned Order vs Production Order – Easy Explanation (1 Minute)
"Interviewers love this one:
👉 What’s the difference between a Planned Order and a Production Order?
A Planned Order is just a proposal — a plan suggested by MRP.
A Production Order is the real thing — it’s approved, executable, and triggers material movement and cost postings.
So simply remember:
Planned Order = Plan.
Production Order = Action."
