Release Batch Balance Level
Explanation
To release the shop order requisition connected to the selected node and all its preceding nodes into shop
orders, click Release Level.
Prerequisites
A batch balance ID with at least one shop order requisition connected must exist.
System Effects
- As a result of this activity, the system releases all shop order requisitions connected to the selected node
and nodes directly above it into shop orders.
- The shop orders will be created with order number, release number and sequence numbers following below logic:
- The first shop order created from the first release will be assigned a new shop order number, release
number 1 and sequence number 1. E.g., 123456 - 1 - 1. The following shop orders will be assigned the same
order number and release number, but with an incremental increase of the sequence number by +1. E.g., 123456
- 1 - 2, 123456 - 1 - 3 etc.
- The first shop order created from succeeding releases will be assigned the same order number as the
parent node if that node is a shop order. Else, a new order number is generated. The release number is set as
the highest existing release number for this order number +1 and the sequence number is set to 1. E.g.,
123456 - 2 - 1. The following shop orders created below the same parent will be assigned the same order
number and release number, but with an incremental increase of the sequence number by +1. E.g., 123456 - 2 -
2, 123456 - 2 - 3 etc.
- When a shop order on a sub-level node is created from a batch balance release for a part with Allow Sub
Lots enabled, and an order based lot/batch number is generated for the parent node shop order, the shop order
lot/batch number is generated as a sub-lot to the master lot of the parent node shop order. I.e., if the master
lot of the parent node shop order has lot/batch number 123456-1-1-1, the lot/batch numbers for shop orders on
sub-levels nodes are generated as sub-lots using the format 123456-1-1-1:1, 123456-1-1-1:2, 123456-1-1-1:3
etc.
- If Lot/Batch Tracking for the part is set to Lot Tracking and Allow Sub Lots is
disabled, the shop orders will inherit the lot/batch number reserved to the shop order requisition if such
exists.
