Difference between Process order and Production order

Difference between  Process order and Production order

A Production Order is defined as follows in a discrete manufacturing industry:
SAP Business One supports three types of production orders.

Standard u2013The Standard production order is based on the bill of materials and you use it to produce a regular production item. You manage material transactions of the regular production process. In addition, you can change components at the production stage. When you open a new standard production order, all the components are filled in automatically.

Special u2013 Use the Special production order to produce and repair items or to perform activities that are not necessarily bill of materials items. For example, repair order for customer equipment cards, or repair order for rejected assemblies. You create special production order components manually.

Disassembly u2013 Use the Disassembly production order to explode a parent item of the regular product to its child items. You disassemble the product into separate parts, which can then be put into stock and sold. For example, you can purchase a used car, take it apart, and sell the individual components

Once you release a purchase order and good recipt is done it is converted to production order to initiate manufacturing of the product.finally the goods are picked and confirmation of production order is done.
