Create Structure from Configuration Evaluation
Explanation
This activity is used to create a DOP structure from a configuration evaluation. I.e., by evaluating the
configuration rules defined for the BOM/routing.
To create a DOP structure from a configuration evaluation with the possibility to manually select the
structure/routing revision, click Create Structure and then Create DOP
Structure.
To create a DOP structure from a configuration evaluation using the revisions valid on the DOP header due date,
click Create Structure and then Create Structure.
Prerequisites
- The DOP header part must be configurable and have a configuration attached.
- The DOP header must be in status Created.
- An interim order structure must not exist for the DOP header.
System Effects
- DOP orders are created in a structure according to the configuration evaluation.
- The status of the DOP orders will be Unreleased unless Auto Release has been enabled in the
Settings section on the Details tab on the DOP
Header page. In that case, the status will be Released. Releasing a DOP order means
generating a shop order or a purchase requisition for the DOP order.
- 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.
- A valid routing revision and buildable routing alternate will be added for each DOP order. If no buildable or
plannable routing alternate 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 alternate. These lead-times will be calculated based on the manufacturing calendar,
whereas the pegged purchases will use the distribution calendar.
