Create Structure for Serial Effectivity
Use this function to continue the structure break down of a serial
effective
DOP order part.
To continue the structure break down of a serial effective DOP order part from the DOP Logs page click
Create Structure. To do it from the DOP Header
or DOP Order page click Create Structure
on the Logs tab.
Prerequisites
- A DOP log of type Serial No Breakdown must exist.
- Serial numbers must have been reserved for the DOP order.
System Effects
As a result of this activity:
- If you have allowed an automatic release of DOP orders by
enabling the Auto Release setting in the Settings
section on the Details tab on the
DOP Header page, the system automatically releases the
component DOP orders when the structure is created. Releasing a DOP order means generating a shop order or a purchase requisition
for the DOP Order. The actual DOP order and the higher levels structure
will not be released.
- The status of the DOP orders will change to Unreleased unless
the orders are automatically released. In that case, the status will be
Released.
- If the DOP header is project specific, DOP orders that are created in the
structure will be tagged with project ID and activity sequence. When releasing
pegged project specific DOP Orders, the system will generate project specific
shop orders or purchase requisitions/purchase orders dependent on the part type.
These orders will be received into project inventory.
- When you create a DOP structure, any intermediate steps in the structure
are deleted. Parts with planning method K and P (blow throughs and phantom
parts) are considered intermediate steps.
- If a DOP order is serial effective the break done will stop on the DOP order
and a log will be created. The log will be displayed in DOP Logs
page. If you have allowed an automatic release of DOP orders, higher
levels structure straight to the top order will not be released. After continuing
the structure break down for the DOP order the actual DOP log will disappear
from the table.
- A valid routing revision and a plannable or buildable routing alternative
will be added for each DOP order. If no buildable or plannable routing alternative
exist for the part a DOP log is created, but the creation of the structure will
continue. If the routing is serial effective and no serial numbers are reserved
for the DOP order a DOP log is created, but the creation of the structure will
continue.
- The due date and the start date are calculated for each 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 alternative.
