Release DOP Branch
Explanation
This activity is used to release a specific branch manually.
To release a DOP branch manually from the DOP Order page, click
Release, then click Branch. This can also be done from the DOP
Header page after expanding the tree structure in order to display the DOP order.
Prerequisites
This activity requires that the DOP order has a status of either Unreleased or Netted. If any DOP
orders in the structure to release are serial effective, serial numbers must be reserved for these DOP orders.
System Effects
- The system releases the selected branch. The status will be changed to Released, which will allow you
to process the DOP orders further.
- For DOP orders with the Create Pegged setting set to Pegged Orders, a pegged shop order is
created if the part is manufactured and a purchase requisition is created if the part is purchased with a
supply quantity that meets the remaining demand of the DOP order.
- Lot sizing rules defined for the part will be ignored.
- Supply orders/requisitions generated for parts with a scrap factor will be created with a quantity higher
than the DOP order quantity to cover for the planned scrap.
- Shop orders are created with a Need Date set the same as the Due Date of the DOP order. If
Plan Manufacturing Supply on Due Date is enabled for the part, the need date time is set to the last
working time that day according to the site manufacturing calendar. If disabled, the time is set to
00:00.
- Purchase requisitions are created with a Wanted Receipt Date set the same as the Due Date
of the DOP order.
- If the Netting setting has been set to Auto Netting, quantities available in stock and/or
excess quantities on existing shop/purchase orders will be automatically reserved/pegged to the DOP order thus
reducing the quantity for which the DOP order needs to create its own pegged supply orders. When releasing
pegged, project-specific DOP orders, the system will generate project-specific shop orders or purchase
requisitions/purchase orders depending on the part type. These orders will be received into the project
inventory.
- A check is done before release to see if the routing is in status Buildable. If the routing still is
Tentative or has become Obsolete a DOP log is created.
- The Lot/Batch Origin setting for DOP supplied material lines on pegged shop orders will not
be enabled even though it is enabled in the product structure line.
- Any existing machine and labor load for the operations of the released DOP orders are deleted.
