Change Shop Order Earliest Start or Need Date
Explanation
Use this activity to change the earliest start or need date of the shop order.
- The Need Date field represents the date when the parts produced on the shop order should have been
received and available in inventory. If the part produced on the shop order has Plan Manufacturing Supply on
Due Date enabled, a time can be set as well. Changing need date on a backward scheduled order will trigger a
rescheduling of the order and calculate a new start and finish date. Changing the need date for a forward
scheduled order does not have any impact on the scheduled start or finish dates.
- The Earliest Start Date field represents the earliest date the shop order can start. If the part
produced on the shop order has Plan Manufacturing Supply on Due Date enabled, a time can be set as well.
Changing earliest start date on a forward scheduled order will trigger a rescheduling of the order and calculate
a new start and finish date. Changing the earliest start date for a backward scheduled order does not have any
impact on the scheduled start or finish dates.
When a shop order pegged to a DOP order or customer order line is rescheduled, the date change can be replicated
based on the settings in Site/Manufacturing page. If the date change is not replicated to the DOP
order, a time alarm is generated for the date mismatch between the DOP order and the shop order. If the DOP order
has other supply orders, an error message appears, the due date of the DOP order is not changed and a time alarm is
generated.
A time alarm may be resolved by either right-clicking and then clicking Update Dates From Supply or by
updating the revised due date of the DOP order.
To change the earliest start or need date from the Shop Order, Shop Orders or
Production Line Management/Shop Orders pages, enter a new value in the Earliest Start Date or
Need Date field.
To change the earliest start or need date from the Inventory Parts Intraday Availability page,
expand the line for the relevant part and select the supply line from the shop order you want to update. Click
Edit Shop Order and enter a new value in the Earliest Start Date or Need Date field.
Prerequisites
- A shop order must exist.
- To trigger a rescheduling when changing the need date of the shop order, it needs to be backwards
scheduled.
- To trigger a rescheduling when changing the earliest start date of the shop order, it needs to be forward
scheduled.
System Effects
- The shop order will be updated with the new earliest start or need date.
- If the need date is changed and the Scheduling Direction is set to Backwards Scheduling, or the
earliest start date is changed and the Scheduling Direction is set to Forward Scheduling, the order
is rescheduled. If the supply date of a shop order pegged to a DOP order is changed and the site is set to
replicate changes, the Start Date and Due Date fields of the DOP order are updated
accordingly.
- If the order is pegged to a customer order line and the site is set to replicate changes, the following
columns in the customer order line will be updated accordingly: Planned Delivery Date/Time, Planned
Ship Date/Time, and Planned Due Date.
