Add DOP Branch
Explanation
This activity is used to add a DOP structure branch for a specific DOP order.
The new DOP structure branch can either be created from BOM or copied from another
DOP structure.
This is done using the Create DOP Structure/Routing
dialog. To access the dialog click Change Structure/Routing,
then Add Branch on the
DOP Order page. In the dialog specify whether you want to
add a branch structure from BOM or from another DOP structure by enabling
either Create DOP Structure/Routing
from Part Structure/Routing or
Copy DOP Structure/Routing
from other DOP. To create the DOP structure from BOM, select the
revision and alternate for the structure and routing in the
Create DOP Structure/Routing from Part Structure/Routing
section. To copy the DOP structure from an existing DOP structure, enter the
DOP order whose structure is to be used in the DOP ID field in the
Copy DOP Structure/Routing
from other DOP section.
This can also be done from
the DOP Header
page when expanding the tree structure in order to display the DOP order.
Prerequisites
- The Create
Pegged field in the settings section on the Details
tab on the DOP order page for the DOP order must be set to
Pegged Orders.
- If the parent DOP order is released, the status of its supply shop
order must be Planned, Released or Reserved.
- Pegged purchase orders must not exist.
System Effects
As a result of this activity:
- A DOP branch is added to the DOP structure. The status of the
DOP orders are set to Unreleased.
The
Structure Changed
flag will be displayed for the specific DOP order and the DOP header.
If the parent DOP order is Released, a new component is added to
its supply shop orders.
- If the DOP order in consideration is project specific the new DOP branch
added will be tagged with project ID and activity sequence.
- When you create a DOP structure, any intermediate steps in the
structure are deleted. Parts with planning methods K and P (blow through and
phantom
parts) are considered intermediate steps.
- When creating a DOP structure which includes a phantom part, the DOP
order is created for the phantom part if there is enough inventory to fulfill
the order. Phantom parts are needed to net as and when the DOP order is
created to avoid material shortages in the future.
- If a DOP order is serial effective, the breaking-down stops at the DOP
order level and a log is created. The log is displayed in
DOP Logs page. If you have
allowed an automatic release of DOP orders, higher levels in the structure
are not released.
- If adding a DOP structure from BOM, a valid routing revision and a plannable
or buildable routing alternate are added for each DOP order. If no buildable
or plannable routing alternate exists for the part, a DOP log is created;
however, the creation of the structure continues. If copying a DOP structure
from another DOP structure, the routing revision and routing alternate are
copied to each DOP order. If the routing is serial effective and no serial
numbers are reserved for the DOP order, a DOP log is created; however, the
creation of the structure continues.
- When creating the new DOP structure from BOM the due date and the start
date are calculated for each added DOP order in the structure, depending
on due date and start date of the parent DOP order, lead-time and lead-time
offset, where the lead-time is depending on lot size and routing revision
and alternate.
