What Is Next
The next operation on every released order, what it needs, who is responsible — and, where it cannot start, the reason in words rather than a greyed-out button.
Where to find it
- Module: Manufacturing
- Group: More
- Section: Reachable by link
- Screen: What Is Next
Address in the console: /mfg/next-operations
Read-only list · 18 columns
This list is read-only: its records are written by the work that produces them. A correction, where one is possible at all, is made where the record was created.
This screen carries no tile on the module page. It is reached from the record it belongs to, from a saved view, or by its address.

The rules that apply here
Everything on this screen obeys the platform rules rather than rules of its own. The ones worth knowing before you use it:
- Narrowing a list — search, conditions, sort, totals, export and saved views.
- What may be changed — the five grounds a record may not be edited on.
- Companies and business units — what the switcher above this list is doing to it.
