Propagate Quantity Downstream
Explanation
This activity is used to propagate quantities downstream in a DOP structure
(to parent levels). The quantities on higher levels in the DOP structure will
change with respect to the quantity on the DOP order on which you perform the
command.
To propagate quantities downstream click Propagate Date/Quantity,
then click Propagate Quantity Downstream on the
DOP Order or the DOP Orders
page. This can also be done from the DOP Header
page after first expanding the tree structure in order to display the DOP
order.
Prerequisites
This activity requires that a parent DOP order exists.
System Effects
As a result of this activity:
- The quantities on the parent levels in the DOP structure change, considering
the Order Qty, Qty Per Assembly, Component Scrap, and
Scrap
Factor fields for the selected DOP order.
- The Qty Demand field on the
Demand tab on the
DOP Header page is the same as the Order Qty field on the top DOP
order.
- If serial numbers are reserved for a parent DOP Order and the quantity
decreases, the correct amount of the serial numbers is unreserved.
- If a discrete unit of measure is used, the Order Qty for the parent
DOP Order is truncated. The start date is recalculated for the DOP Orders
on higher levels due to due date and lead-time, where the lead-time is depending
on lot size and routing revision and alternative.
