Create Default Structure from BOM
Explanation
Use this function to copy a default structure from BOM. The valid
structure revision and alternative due to the date or serial numbers reserved is used.
Prerequisites
This activity has the following prerequisites:
- The status of the DOP header should be
Created.
- The DOP structure cannot be created for parts with a recipe structure.
- It must have a valid structure revision and alternative for the DOP header part.
- If the DOP
header part is serial effective serial numbers must be reserved.
System Effects
As a result of this activity:
- The status of the DOP orders will
change to Unreleased unless the orders are automatically released. In that case, the
status will be Released. If you have allowed an automatic release of DOP orders, the DOP
orders will be released automatically when the structure is created. You specify this in
the Auto Release field in the
DOP Header/Detail tab. Releasing a
DOP order means generating a shop order or a purchase requisition for the DOP Order.
- If the DOP header is project specific, DOP Orders that
are created in the structure will be tagged with Project ID and Activity
Sequence. When releasing pegged project specific
DOP Orders, the system will generate project specific Shop Orders or Purchase
Requisitions/Purchase Orders dependent on the part type. These orders will be
received into project inventory.
- When you create a DOP structure, any intermediate steps in the
structure are deleted. Parts with planning method K and P, (Blow throughs and Phantom
parts), are considered intermediate steps. If a DOP order is serial effective, the breaking-down will stop
at the DOP order level and a log will be created.
- When creating a DOP structure which includes a phantom part, the DOP
order is created for the phantom part if there is enough inventory to
fulfill the order. Phantom parts are needed to net as and when the DOP order
is created to avoid material shortages in the future.
- The log will be displayed in DOP Logs.
If you have allowed an automatic release of DOP orders, higher levels structure straight
to the top order will not be released. If serial numbers are reserved for the DOP header
these are moved to the top DOP order.
- A valid routing revision and a plannable or buildable routing
alternative will be added for each DOP order. If no buildable or plannable routing
alternative exist for the part a DOP log is created, but the creation of the structure
will continue. If the routing is serial effective and no serial numbers are reserved for
the DOP order a DOP log is created, but the creation of the structure will continue.
- The revised due date and the revised start date are calculated
for each new DOP order in the structure, depending on revised due date and revised start
date of the parent DOP order, lead-time and lead-time offset, where the lead-time
is depending on lot size and routing revision and alternative.
