Create Complete Structure/Operations from BOM/Routing

Explanation

Use this activity to create a DOP structure by selecting a structure revision and alternative and use the corresponding BOM structure. 

Prerequisites

This activity has the following prerequisites:

• The DOP header status should be Created.
• The DOP structure cannot be created for parts with a recipe structure.
• If the DOP header part is serial effective and serial numbers are reserved, no selection of another revision or alternative can be made.
• If no serial numbers are reserved, any valid revision and alternative can be selected.

System Effects

As a result of this activity:

• A DOP structure is created from BOM. If the DOP header is project specific, DOP Orders that are created in the structure will be tagged with Project ID and Activity Sequence.
• If you have allowed an automatic release of DOP orders, the system automatically releases the component DOP orders 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. The actual DOP order and the higher levels structure will not be released.
• 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.
• The status of the new DOP orders will change to Unreleased unless the orders are automatically released. In that case, the status will be Released.
• When you create a DOP structure, any intermediate steps in the structure are deleted. Parts with planning method K and P (blow through 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. The log will be displayed in DOP Logs. If you have allowed an automatic release of DOP orders, higher levels structures straight to the top order will not be released. If serial numbers are reserved for the DOP header, they are moved to the top DOP order.
• 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.
• A valid routing revision and buildable routing alternative records 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 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. These lead-times will be calculated based on the Manufacturing calendar, where as the Pegged Purchases will use the Distribution calendar.
