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.
