Generate DOP Alarms

Explanation

Use this activity to generate alarms manually for an entire DOP structure or for an entire site. You can schedule the generating of alarms to take place regularly. 

Alarms are generated automatically when date and quantity mismatches occur between the demand and supply within a DOP structure (i.e. DOP Header and DOP Order or DOP Order and corresponding pegged supply orders).

When the planned ship date of a customer order line supplied by a DOP header is changed, alarms are generated when:

• The due date of the DOP header and the top DOP order do not match.
• The due date of the DOP header and the planned ship date of its pegged customer order line do not match.

Note: No alarms are generated for DOP headers with the Created status. 

Prerequisites

This activity requires that  DOP orders must have reached the Released status.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, alarms are generated for the selected choice.
