Propagate Quantity Downstream
Explanation
This activity is used to propagate quantities downstream in a DOP structure (to parent levels). The quantities
on higher levels in the DOP structure will change with respect to the quantity on the DOP order on which you
perform the command.
To propagate quantities downstream click Propagate Date/Quantity, then click Propagate
Quantity Downstream on the DOP Order or the DOP Orders
page. This can also be done from the DOP Header page after first expanding the tree
structure in order to display the DOP order.
Prerequisites
This activity requires that a parent DOP order exists.
System Effects
As a result of this activity:
- The quantities on the parent levels in the DOP structure change, considering the Order Qty, Qty Per
Assembly, Component Scrap, and Scrap Factor fields for the selected DOP order.
- The Qty Demand field on the Demand tab on the DOP Header page is the
same as the Order Qty field on the top DOP order.
- If serial numbers are reserved for a parent DOP Order and the quantity decreases, the correct amount of the
serial numbers is unreserved.
- If a discrete unit of measure is used, the Order Qty for the parent DOP Order is truncated. The start date is
recalculated for the DOP Orders on higher levels due to due date and lead-time, where the lead-time is depending
on lot size and routing revision and alternative.
