Planning a work order and releasing it are two different jobs, and for a settled product the second one adds nothing. The calculation was right, the components are there, and the only thing standing between demand and the shop floor is somebody clicking start.
Auto-start is a flag on the item, alongside minimum stock, package size, manufacturing hours and the default work order owner. Set it on the products you trust and Dream MRP starts their work orders as it plans them, emails the assigned owner the work order PDF, and puts the build straight on the Work Order Factory display — no approval step, nobody opening a screen.
Combined with the night run, that means new builds can be on the display before anyone arrives in the morning. Trigger a run by hand and they appear the moment it finishes.
Auto-start is held per item and honoured by every calculation, so you release the products where the plan is reliable and keep everything else under manual control.
The work order PDF is emailed to the assigned owner as it is started, so the person who has to make it finds out without checking a queue.
Orders open as started, so they appear on factory or personal displays - automatically. Immediate visibility for everyone in real time.
The night run plans and releases while you are closed, so the first person in walks up to a display that already knows what today is. Repeat during the day for replenishments.
Best for: Settled, repeatable products, especially in a high volume environment and where the plan is trusted and the bottleneck is the release step rather than the decision behind it.
