Connect Customer Order Line to Project Activity
Explanation
This activity is used to connect a customer order line to a project activity.
You can perform this activity to sell excess material and send out partial deliveries
from a project.
You can only connect customer order lines with inventory or non-inventory
parts. It is possible to have customer order lines of the same customer order
connected to activities of different projects. However, if the customer order
header is connected to a project (refer to the Create Project From Customer
Order activity), its lines can only be connected to the activities of the same
project. One project activity can be connected to several customer order lines.
Prerequisites
- The customer order line must be in the Released status.
- The customer order line must not have been connected to a project activity.
- The project to be connected must be in the Approved or Started
status.
- The supply code on the customer order line must be either Invent
Order, Shop Order, DOP Order, Purch Order Trans,
Purch Order Dir, Int Purch Trans, Int Purch Dir,
Not Decided, Package, or Non Inventory.
- The site of the customer order line must have been defined as an allowed
site for the connected project.
- The relevant posting type must have been specified for the project code
part.
- The customer order line must not have been manually pegged to a purchase
order line or a shop order.
- The customer order line must not have been a customer consignment stock
delivery.
- If the customer order header is connected to a project, the activity
to which you want to connect must be of that same project.
- Project manual connections to customer order lines must have been made
available on the Project Setup Parameters/Manual
Connections tab.
- For internal purchase order direct, the project connected to the internal
customer order must not be the same as the project connected to the external
customer order.
System Effects
- The customer order line will be connected to the project activity.
- The customer order line will display details about the project activity
to which the line has been connected.
- The customer order line will get a project pre-posting. (As the customer
order line already exists, it may already have pre-postings. If pre-posting
on the code part already exists, they will be replaced by the project pre-posting.
If the project pre-posting has no value for a code part then the existing
pre-posting on the object will remain unchanged. Also the project and activity
sequence will be posted.)
- The Project Navigator/Connections
tab will display details of the customer order line that was connected to
the project activity. The Project/Demand/Customer
Order Line tab will also display details of the new connection.
- The demand code of the customer order line will be set to Project
Inventory.
