Work Orders

1 min read Updated October 28, 2026

Work orders in LilyPad WMS are the same work orders in your system. Any changes users make here are saved right away.

The Work Orders module is where users will start, pick and finish manufacturing work on the floor. Work orders are created when a manufacture order is issued. See the Manufacture Orders page.

The Work Orders module can be found under the Manufacturing group on the LilyPad home screen.

Completing a Work Order

When users open Work Orders, they will see every work order, with tabs to filter by All open, Entered, Started and Fulfilled. Users can search or scan a work order, then open it.

The work order shows its quantities, dates, routing steps, and the items it uses and makes.

  1. Select Start to begin the work order.
  2. Select Pick to pick the raw materials. Tap the line, scan or select the pick location, enter the quantity, and select Pick. Then select Finalize. The pick must be finalized before the work order can be finished. See the Picks page.
  3. Go back to the work order and select Finish.
  4. Enter the quantity actually produced for each finished good.
  5. Choose the destination location for the finished goods.
  6. To put them on a pallet, check Put the finished goods on a pallet and choose New pallet or an open pallet. Leave the pallet tag blank to use the next number.
  7. Select Finish.

The work order is Fulfilled. The raw materials are used, the finished goods are added to inventory, and its items show as used and made.

Scanning

  • Scan a work order number to open it.
  • Scan the pick location and items when picking raw materials.
  • Scan a pallet tag to put finished goods on an open pallet.
