Configure DOP Settings for Site

Explanation

This activity is used to configure site settings related to dynamic order processing (DOP).

To perform the activity, enable/disable the relevant settings on the Site / Manufacturing page.

In the Planning Settings section on the General tab:

• Enable Allow MRP Explosion for DOP Parts if you want MRP supplies to be generated for all the non-DOP components in the standard BOM (multilevel) of DOP parts when the DOP parts are planned by master scheduling.

In the DOP Settings section on the General tab:

• Enable Auto Close DOP Order if you want DOP orders that meet the auto close criteria to close automatically. The auto close criteria are:
  • The Completed Qty is equal, or higher than the Order Qty field on the DOP Order page.
  • There are no parts left in the temporary inventory. (Example: If there were parts received from a purchase order that were reserved against a DOP order, the parts would be in temporary inventory).
  • All parts for the DOP order must be delivered.
  • All child DOP orders must be closed.
  If the DOP order immediately under the DOP header is closed, the DOP header will also be closed. 
• Enable Create/Update Structure in Background if you want to execute actions that create or update a DOP structure as background jobs. This is recommended for performance reasons when working with very large DOP structures or when Schedule and Create Load for DOP Order Operations is enabled. Note that this setting does not affect actions applied to individual DOP orders. Furthermore, DOP structures created as a result of releasing a customer order are not affected by this setting; the customer order type instead controls them.
• Enable Create Purchase Requisition from DOP in Released Status if you want purchase requisitions created from DOP to be created in status Released.
• Enable Schedule and Create Load for DOP Order Operations if you want DOP orders to be planned by scheduling the operations on the DOP orders similar to how shop order operations are scheduled. Machine and labor load will be created for the operations on DOP orders with the status Unreleased and Netted. This load can be viewed as Scheduled DOP load on the Machine Load Details and the Labor Load Details pages. If the option is disabled, DOP orders are planned, using the total lead time of the DOP order operations. No load is created automatically by the system, but you can create it by running CRP. Note: DOP orders that neither have a defined routing alternate nor operations are planned using the fixed and variable lead times defined on the inventory part of the DOP order, regardless of this setting.
