Release DOP Header
Explanation
This activity is used to release a DOP structure manually. This is mandatory for DOP orders that are not
released automatically.
It is not possible to release a DOP header that is connected to a project activity if the activity has not been
released.
To release a DOP structure manually click Status, then click Release All.
Prerequisites
- At least one DOP order with a status of Netted or Unreleased must exist.
- 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 all DOP orders that are not released in the DOP structure. 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.
- When releasing a project pegged DOP header, the system will create a project pegged shop order or purchase
requisition/purchase order, depending on the part type given for the project part in inventory. The project
pegged order is received into the project inventory.
- 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 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.
- An error message will pop up if the user attempts to release a DOP header connected to an
activity that is not released.
- 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.
