Create Shop Order for Design Object

Explanation

This activity is used to create a shop order for a design object that is planned to be prefabricated and assembled. For example a pipe system with several assembly parts or spools, might require the prefabrication of spools individually and to receive the spools to inventory in order to carry out the assembling process. Hence each spool here needs a separate shop order to be created for it.

This activity can be performed on Design Object Work Preparation page by accessing Create Shop Order command. When creating a shop order for a design object, it is required to enter mandatory information such as the quantity required to register the shop order. Optionally, it is possible to select the required fabrication type. The resulting shop order will then only consist of the materials that are of the specified fabrication type. In doing so, it is possible to create multiple shop orders on the same design object with different prefabrication and material requirements/types.

The selection of the routing template, another optional selection, will determine the registration of the shop order operations. Based on the project connected to the design object, the Earliest Start Date and Need Date of the shop order will be set to the Early Start and Finish Dates of the connected activity respectively. The created shop order will always be project connected. One or more than one design objects can also be selected for creating shop orders resulting in multiple shop orders, one for each of the selected design objects.
