Merge Shop Order into Shop Order
Explanation
This activity is used to combine one or more shop orders into either a new shop order, or into an existing shop
order. This is a way to ensure that shop orders match their maximum lot size.
To merge shop order(s), select the relevant shop order(s), click Merge and Splits and then Merge into
Shop Order.
- If you want to merge one shop order into an existing shop order, select the required shop order number in the
Order No field.
- If you want to merge several shop orders into an existing shop orders, select Merge into Existing Shop
Order and select the required shop order number in the Order No field.
- If you want to merge several shop orders into a new shop order, select Merge into New Shop Order.
Prerequisites
- The shop orders being merged must be in the Planned or Released status.
- None of the operations on the shop orders can have Manual Operation Qty enabled.
- The shop orders being merged must be for the same part and site.
- The shop orders being merged must be for the same structure or routing revision and alternate.
- The shop order into which you are merging the other shop orders must exist.
- If the parent part is manually pegged against a customer order line or a shop order, the pegging has to be
removed first.
- If the selected shop orders for merging are DOP supplied and have the DOP supplied material lines, the DOP
Order IDs of the shop order material lines should match each other in corresponding shop orders.
System Effects
- If Merge into New Shop Order is selected, a new shop order is created for the same part, revision and
alternate as the merged orders, but with their combined lot size.
- If Merge into Existing Shop Order is selected, the quantity of the selected shop orders is added to
the lot size of the selected shop order. The manufacturing lead time for the new shop order increases as a result
of the new lot size. This affects the start and finish date of the shop order.
- The original shop orders are deleted.
