Create Shop Order for Design Object
Explanation
This activity is used to create a shop order for a design object that is planned to be prefabricated and
assembled. For example a pipe system with several assembly parts or spools, might require the prefabrication of
spools individually and to receive the spools to inventory in order to carry out the assembling process. Hence each
spool here needs a separate shop order to be created for it.
This activity can be performed on Design Object Work Preparation page by accessing Create Shop
Order command. When creating a shop order for a design object, it is required to enter mandatory
information such as the quantity required to register the shop order. Optionally, it is possible to select the
required fabrication type. The resulting shop order will then only consist of the materials that are of the
specified fabrication type. In doing so, it is possible to create multiple shop orders on the same design object
with different prefabrication and material requirements/types.
The selection of the routing template, another optional selection, will determine the registration of the shop
order operations. Based on the project connected to the design object, the Earliest Start Date and Need Date of the
shop order will be set to the Early Start and Finish Dates of the connected activity respectively. The created shop
order will always be project connected. One or more than one design objects can also be selected for creating shop
orders resulting in multiple shop orders, one for each of the selected design objects.
Prerequisites
- The design object should have a valid project connection.
- The design object should be connected to a design part, which is an inventory part of the Manufactured part
type.
- If the design object has additional parts defined, the fabrication quantity of each additional part should be
one or more, to ensure that the additional part will be inherited as material demand for the shop order.
System Effects
- A shop order is created for the design object, and can be viewed in the Shop Orders tab on the Design Object
Work Preparation page. The shop order is created with the following details:
- The value of the Demand Source field in the Details tab of the Shop Order page, receives the value
Design Object.
- The Part No, Description, Site, Scheduling Direction,
Need Date and Lot Size (Quantity) fields in the header of the Shop
Order page, receive the values on the design object and those that you entered on the corresponding
fields when creating the shop order for the design object.
- The value of the Design Object ID and Description fields is displayed in the
Notes section on the created shop order.
- The Component Part, Part Description and Quantity Per
Assembly (Quantity) fields in the Material tab of the Shop Order page, receive the values on the
design object and those that you entered on the corresponding fields when creating the shop order for the
design object.
- The resulting shop order will consist of the materials (additional parts of the design object) that were of
the selected fabrication type and where the fabrication quantity of the additional part was one or more.
- The shop order will inherit the project connection of the design object.
