Use this activity to select events for a shop order process type to be used when you perform the auto order processing function.
To enter a shop order process type, create a new record in the Shop Order Process Type page and create lines for the events it should process. You can select from below events:
Enter a value in the Days Before Start Date field to define a process time span. The default value is set to 0.
If Use Manufacturing Calendar is enabled, the time span is based on workdays defined in the site manufacturing calendar. Otherwise all days are considered.
If Use Required Date in Reservation is enabled, only shop order material lines where required date falls within the defined time span will get reserved.
The system handles the release shop order requisitions event first, the release shop order event second, and the reserve shop order event last. Thus, if the shop order process type is correctly defined, a requisition and the shop order created from it are released and all materials for that shop order are reserved. When reserving the shop order, the system sequences the shop orders to be processed first by priority, then by the revised start date of the shop order, and finally by the normal indexed descending order based on the shop order number.
There are no prerequisites.
A shop order process type with the selected events is created.
