Release DOP Order

Explanation

Use this activity to release a specific DOP order manually.

Prerequisites

This activity requires that the DOP order has a status of Unreleased or Netted. If the DOP order is serial effective, serial numbers must be reserved.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, the system releases the selected DOP order. The status will be changed to Released, which will allow you to process the DOP order further. If the Create Pegged list is set to Pegged Orders, a pegged shop order is created if the part is manufactured and a purchase requisition created if the part is purchased with a supply quantity that meets the remaining demand of ther 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.

If the Netting list 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. If the DOP netting method on the DOP order had been set to Auto Netting, the DOP order will be automatically netted upon release. 

A check is done before release to see if the routing is buildable or null. If the routing still is plannable or has become obsolete a DOP log is created.

If this DOP order was connected to a project activity and if there were shop orders that had been connected to this DOP structure they will start reporting committed cost and hours back to the activity through the DOP order. These will be reported along with the specific project cost elements that have been previously defined.

The Lot/Batch Origin check box for DOP supplied material lines on pegged shop orders will not be selected even though it is selected in the product structure line.
