# Modify manufacturing orders

> Update an order's operations, materials, and quantities when shop floor work changes.

**Path:** **Production > Production orders > Launched order**

Open an MO to view its routing and change data that remains editable according to the order's status.

## Header indicators

The header summarizes the MO status:

* **Overall progress:** a percentage (`0 %`) and a numeric counter (`0 of 3`) indicate how many product units have been completed.
* **Product details:** identifies the quantity and item being manufactured (for example, `3 x White outdoor table 100x80`).

## Action bar

The bottom bar shows available actions according to the order's status:

* **Print:** generates a paper copy of the routing.
* **Block:** prevents continuing with the order until it is unblocked. Use it for an issue that must be resolved before proceeding.
* **+ Operation:** adds an unplanned operation, such as additional sanding.
* **+ Restriction:** adds a dependency between operations.
* **Workstations:** reassigns operations' machines or work centers.
* **Delete:** deletes the order when its status and activity still allow it.
* **Save:** retains changes to the order header.

## Create material requests

In **Materials**, the **Create request for this material** icon appears when the item is configured for manufacturing procurement and has no linked request yet.

This action creates a manufacturing request linked to the MO material. It does not generate a purchase order or warehouse movement.

**Quantity (units):** enter how many units you need. The system proposes the quantity still pending consumption based on the initial plan.

You can change this number manually. If you need additional material to cover defective pieces or waste, replace it with the quantity needed.

**Notes (optional):** add instructions for whoever supplies the material or explain why the quantity differs from the plan.

**Code:** Bold generates it from the MO code and configured prefixes. If a request with the same base already exists, it adds the first available suffix.
