Orders
An order defines what parts need to be manufactured, in what quantity, and by when. It drives production planning and execution in Praxis. Orders can be created or imported using various methods, and they can be converted into jobs for production planning.

Edit orders
Select one or more orders and right-click to modify common order details such as quantity, due date, priority, and customer information.
If multiple selected orders require different values, use the Check-out for Editing option to edit each order individually based on the requirement.
Any updates made to the orders are applied immediately to the database. Use the Delete command to remove orders from the order library.
| The Delete command removes only the orders. Parts linked to the respective orders are not deleted from the Part library. |
