Connect Customer Order Line to Project Activity
Explanation
This activity is used to connect a customer order line to a project activity. You can perform this activity to
sell excess material and send out partial deliveries from a project.
You can only connect customer order lines with inventory or non-inventory parts. It is possible to have customer
order lines of the same customer order connected to activities of different projects. However, if the customer
order header is connected to a project (refer to the Create Project From Customer Order activity), its lines can
only be connected to the activities of the same project. One project activity can be connected to several customer
order lines.
Prerequisites
- The customer order line must be in the Released status.
- The customer order line must not have been connected to a project activity.
- The project to be connected must be in the Approved or Started status.
- The supply code on the customer order line must be either Invent Order, Shop Order, DOP
Order, Purch Order Trans, Purch Order Dir, Int Purch Trans, Int Purch Dir, Not
Decided, Package, or Non Inventory.
- The site of the customer order line must have been defined as an allowed site for the connected project.
- The relevant posting type must have been specified for the project code part.
- The customer order line must not have been manually pegged to a purchase order line or a shop order.
- The customer order line must not have been a customer consignment stock delivery.
- If the customer order header is connected to a project, the activity to which you want to connect must be of
that same project.
- Project manual connections to customer order lines must have been made available on the Project Setup
Parameters/Manual Connections tab.
- For internal purchase order direct, the project connected to the internal customer order must not be the same
as the project connected to the external customer order.
System Effects
- The customer order line will be connected to the project activity.
- The customer order line will display details about the project activity to which the line has been
connected.
- The customer order line will get a project pre-posting. (As the customer order line already exists, it may
already have pre-postings. If pre-posting on the code part already exists, they will be replaced by the project
pre-posting. If the project pre-posting has no value for a code part then the existing pre-posting on the object
will remain unchanged. Also the project and activity sequence will be posted.)
- The Project Navigator/Connections tab will display details of the customer order line that was
connected to the project activity. The Project/Demand/Customer Order Line tab will also display details of
the new connection.
- The demand code of the customer order line will be set to Project Inventory.
