When a production order is released, a production lot is created. The planned structure (operations, activities, and reporting points) and the planned data of the production order are copied to the production lot and used as a basis for creating production tasks and default values. 

When the production tasks and, consequently, the production lot are finished, the production order is automatically finished. 

When the production lot is closed, the production order is automatically closed as well. 

Depend on above, you can create a Lot Closure Run to close the mass production lot automatically and ,consequently, the production orders will automatically closed.

Please refer to the documentation for more information. https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_BUSINESS_BYDESIGN/2754875d2d2a403f95e58a41a9c7d6de/2ddeccfe722d101494c...
