This activity is used to change the control plan manufacturing associated with a shop order if the phase in or phase out dates of the control plan do not properly coincide with the start date of the shop order. The start date must fall between the phase in and phase out dates of the control plan. If it does not, you will not be able to create an analysis or view the details of an analysis for this shop order. Once everything is done, shop order connected control plan will be reconnected accordingly with the used start date.
This activity can also be used to change the control plan if the shop order has been modified. If operations have been added to the shop order, for example, you might want to create a new control plan revision that includes these operations.

You can use this activity either before or after creating your analyses.
To change a control plan manufacturing for a shop order first click Connect Control Plan. In the dialog that is opened, enter the control plan number and the control plan revision number and click OK.
