Create DOP Order Manually
Explanation
This activity is used to create a DOP order manually. This is an alternative to copying a structure from an
existing DOP or BOM structure.
To create a new DOP order manually from the DOP Order page, click the new command on
the Components tab. Specify the part number of the DOP order in the Part field and
the quantity needed to manufacture one parent part in the Qty per Assembly field. Finally, review and update
the values in the remaining fields as necessary.
Prerequisites
- The status of the parent DOP order may not have reached status Started.
- The DOP structure cannot be created for parts with a recipe structure.
- The part type must be Manufactured, Manufactured Recipe,
Purchased, Purchased (raw) or Expense.
- The Allow Changes to DOP Structure setting must be enabled for the DOP header.
System Effects
As a result of this activity:
- A new DOP order will be created.
- If the parent DOP order is in status Unreleased, the DOP order will be created in status
Created.
- If the parent DOP order is in status Released, the DOP order will be created in status
Released.
- If a pegged shop order exists, the part will be added as a component in the shop order.
- The Structure Changed flag will be displayed for the parent DOP order and the DOP header.
- If the DOP header is project specific, DOP orders that are created will be tagged with project ID and
activity sequence.
- The due date of the DOP order will be set automatically unless it has been specified manually.
- The start date will be updated for the DOP order based on the fixed and variable lead times defined for the
inventory part of the DOP order and the order quantity plus the planned supply scrap for that quantity. For
information on how this is done, see Plan DOP Orders.
