This activity is used to replace the dates of the DOP order with that of the pegged orders if the pegged orders for the DOP already have been created. The start and due dates of the pegged orders might change, e.g. due to usage of constraint based scheduling or manual re-planning. These new dates can and probably will differ from the dates on the DOP orders. In order to avoid getting many alarms due to these differences the activity makes it possible to substitute the purchase orders and shop orders start dates and due dates for the corresponding dates on the DOP orders. The only not updateable date is the due date on the top level DOP order, since meeting this date is the main objective for the whole DOP structure.
To update dates from supply for a DOP order click Update Dates from Supply and then Order on the DOP Order page. This can also be done from the DOP Header page after first expanding the tree structure in order to display the DOP order.
This activity requires that the DOP order has pegged orders.
As a result of this activity, the start date of the DOP order is set to min (supply start dates), and the due date is set to max (supply due dates).
