You pick the plan when several match

Collections overlap. A walnut dining table can be in Dining Tables and in Walnut, and if both collections have a manufacturing plan, there’s no right answer Orderkraft can work out on its own. Until now it took the first plan it found. The order went into production with steps that might belong to a different product line, and nobody was told.

Now Orderkraft stops and asks.

Added

• A manufacturing order whose product matches more than one collection plan goes on hold, with the note Multiple manufacturing plans matched.
• A Select plan button in the hold banner on the order page. It lists the plans that matched. Pick one and its steps are added to the order as work orders. If nothing else is holding the order, production resumes straight away.

Changed

• Release all holds on the order page and Lift holds in bulk only release holds someone placed by hand. An order waiting for a plan stays on hold until you pick one, so it can’t slip into production without its steps.

Variant and product targets always win over collections, so the hold only happens when the choice really comes down to collections. If it happens for a product you sell often, target that product with the plan you want, and its orders will skip the hold from then on.
