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:
- Include Only Firm Supplies - Only supplies classified as firm are considered. Firm supplies are shop
orders, purchase order lines and similar. Non-firm supplies such as purchase and shop order requisitions are
ignored.
- Include Only Firm Demands - Only demands classified as firm are considered. Firm demands are customer
order lines, shop order material lines and similar. Non-firm demands such as MRP planned demands are
ignored.
- Include Usable Qty in Balance - The usable on hand quantity in stock is considered as the starting
balance when calculating the projected quantity, if cleared, the logic will use 0 as the starting balance.
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.
