Add DOP Branch

Explanation

Use this activity to add a DOP structure branch for a specific DOP order. The new DOP structure branch can either be created from BOM or copied from another DOP structure.

Prerequisites

• The Create Pegged attribute for the DOP order must be set to Pegged Orders. 
• When the parent DOP order is released, the status of its supply shop order must be Planned, Released or Reserved.
• Pegged purchase orders must not exist.

System Effects

As a result of this activity:

• A DOP  branch is added to the DOP structure. The status of the DOP orders are set to Unreleased. The Structure Changed check box is selected for the specific DOP order and the DOP header. If the parent DOP order is Released, a new component is added to its supply shop orders.
• If the DOP order in consideration is project specific the new DOP branch added will be tagged with Project ID and Activity Sequence.
• When you create a DOP structure, any intermediate steps in the structure are deleted. Parts with planning methods K and P, Blow through and Phantom parts, are considered intermediate steps.
• If a DOP order is serial-effective, the breaking-down stops at the DOP order level and a log is created. The log is displayed in DOP Logs. If you have allowed an automatic release of DOP orders, higher levels in the structure are not released.
• 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.
• If adding a DOP structure from BOM, a valid routing revision and a plannable or buildable routing alternative are added for each DOP order. If no buildable or plannable routing alternative exists for the part, a DOP log is created; however, the creation of the structure continues. If copying a DOP structure from another DOP structure, the routing revision and routing alternative are copied to each DOP order. If the routing is serial-effective and no serial numbers are reserved for the DOP order, a DOP log is created; however, the creation of the structure continues.
• When creating the new DOP structure from BOM the revised due date and the revised start date are calculated for each added 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.

Procedure

From the DOP Header window:

1. Open the DOP Header window.
2. Retrieve the DOP header for the DOP order for which to add a branch structure, then click the Structure tab and locate the actual DOP order.
3. Right-click anywhere in the header, point to Change DOP Structure, and then click Add Branch. The Create DOP Structure/Routings dialog box will be displayed.
4. Specify whether you want to add a branch structure from BOM or from another DOP structure by selecting either Create DOP Structure from BOM or Copy DOP Structure from other DOP Structure.
5. To create the DOP structure from BOM, select the Revision No and Alternative No. Click List to select from available revisions and alternatives. The default revision is displayed in the fields.
6. To copy the DOP structure from an existing DOP structure, enter the DOP order whose structure is to be used in the DOP ID field. Click List to select from available orders.
7. Click OK.

From the DOP Order window:

From the tree graph of (DOP Order/Tree Structure or DOP Header/DOP Structure):

1. Select the DOP Order to which to add a branch.
2. Right-click on the required object, point to Change DOP Structure, and then click Add Branch.
