Release DOP Branch
Explanation
This activity is used to release a specific branch manually.
To release a DOP branch manually from the DOP Order
page, click Release, then click Branch.
This can also be done from the DOP Header page
after expanding the tree structure in order to display the DOP order.
Prerequisites
This activity requires that the DOP order has a status of either Unreleased
or Netted. If any DOP orders in the structure to release are serial effective,
serial numbers must be reserved for these DOP orders.
System Effects
- The system releases the selected branch. The status will be changed to
Released, which will allow
you to process the DOP orders further.
- For DOP orders with the Create
Pegged setting set to Pegged Orders, a pegged shop order is created
if the part is manufactured and a purchase requisition created if the part
is purchased with a supply quantity that meets the remaining demand of the
DOP order.
- Lot sizing rules defined for the part will be ignored.
- Supply
orders/requisitions generated for parts with a scrap factor will be created
with a quantity higher than the DOP order quantity to cover for the planned
scrap.
- Shop orders are created with a Need Date set the same
as the Due Date of the DOP order. If Plan Manufacturing
Supply on Due Date is enabled for the part, the need date time
is set to the last working time that day according to the site
manufacturing calendar. If disabled, the time is set to
00:00.
- Purchase requisitions are created with a Wanted Receipt Date
set the same as the Due Date of the DOP order.
- If the Netting setting has been set to Auto Netting, quantities
available in stock and/or excess quantities on existing shop/purchase orders
will be automatically reserved/pegged to the DOP order thus reducing the quantity
for which the DOP order needs to create its own pegged supply orders. When
releasing pegged, project-specific DOP orders, the system will generate
project-specific shop orders or purchase requisitions/purchase orders
depending on the part type. These orders will be received into project
inventory.
- A check is done before release to see if the routing is in status Buildable. If the routing still is
Tentative or has become Obsolete
a DOP log is created.
- The Lot/Batch Origin
setting for DOP supplied material lines on
pegged shop orders will not be enabled even though it is enabled in the product
structure line.
