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.
