Abstract
A method and system for merging an order with a surviving order where production of the order is currently in progress in a flexible order transaction system where yield, scrap, and work-in-process (WIP) are calculated for reporting points in the merging order process and yield, scrap, and work-in-process units are transferred from reporting points in the merging order to reporting points in the surviving order. The transfer from the merging order to the surviving order occurring at several mapped reporting points for the single merge order action. Unmapped scrap, WIP, and/or component and resource usage may be transferred to the surviving order at preceding or subsequent mapped reporting points in the merging order.
