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.
