Net Branch

Explanation

Use this activity to perform netting processes for the selected order and all its lower orders. It is also possible to perform re-netting when the quantity of the structure is changed after the release; you can also re-net after canceling netting relations.

Netting is performed in the following sequence:

• Excess inventory (inventory with no netting relations within Dynamic Order Processing DOP) 
• Excess order with the same DOP
• Excess order with a different DOP

For DOP orders, where the DOP header is connected to a project and where Create Pegged is set to Pegged Orders, netting is allowed only from the project inventory. If Create Pegged is set to No Pegged Orders, netting is allowed only from the standard inventory.

For project connected DOP orders, netting is performed in the following sequence:

• Netting will be performed from Project Inventory.
• Use any excess DOP orders within the same project. A DOP order can only be netted from other DOP orders with revised due dates earlier or equal to it.

Prerequisites

• This activity requires that the DOP order has the netting parameter set to Netting in order to be netted. 
• The DOP order header must at least have reached the Unreleased state.

System Effects

As a result of this activity:

• The selected DOP order and its lower orders are netted.
• If serial numbers are reserved for a DOP order and the DOP order's demand is reduced due to netting, the number of the corresponding serial number will be unreserved.
• Netting will not be carried out if it is supplied to a supplier material for a Purchase Order Line which is set to backflush.
