Adjust Shop Order Need Date to Demand

Explanation

Use this activity to automatically update the need date of a shop order to the date/time when the projected quantity goes negative for the shop order part. If the part has Plan Manufacturing Supply on Due Date enabled, the need date will be updated considering both the date and time of the earliest demand where the projected quantity goes negative, else only the date is considered.

If the shop order has pegged demands, only those will be considered when calculating the projected quantity. If the shop order is not pegged to any demand, demands without peggings are considered.

The calculation will also consider below parameters set on the Inventory Parts Intraday Availability page:

To adjust the need date of a shop order to demand, first open the Inventory Parts Intraday Availability page and expand the line for the relevant part. Then select the shop order to adjust and click Adjust Need Date to Demand.
