Add Shop Order Operation

Explanation

This activity is used to add an operation that is not registered in the parent part's operation list, e.g., an operation that is needed only for this shop order.

Outside operations added to the released shop orders will create the appropriate type of supply, based on the outside operation supply type. (Refer About Routing Master Data.)

Prerequisites

• The shop order must not have status Closed or Cancelled.
• Succeeding outside operations must not have been started for the newly added outside operations.

System Effects

As a result of this activity,

• The system adds an operation to a specific shop order. This addition affects only this shop order, not the parent part's entire operation list.
• If the shop order is released, a purchase requisition, a planned purchase order line, or a released purchase order line will be created for the operation depending on the outside operation supply type.

If the operation utilizes part of the resource capacity, define the share in Resource Share field, or specify how much of the total capacity one unit will utilize in the Resource Share per Unit field.

(For more details see the Outside Operations topic).

If you know the supplier and price information, enter the Supplier ID, Price and UoM fields respectively.
    Note : Currency will get the default value from the supplier. The UoM field will get the default value from unit of measure of the routing part. If supplier is related to the outside work center, it will also get the default value from the work center
