Propagate Quantity Downstream

Explanation

This activity is used to propagate quantities downstream in a DOP structure. The quantities on higher levels in the DOP structure will change with respect to the quantity on the DOP order on which you perform the command.

Prerequisites

This activity requires that the parent DOP order has not reached the Released state.

System Effects

As a result of this activity:

• The quantities on the higher levels in the DOP structure change, considering the Revised Qty Due, the Qty Per Assembly, the Component Scrap, and the Shrinkage Factor for the selected DOP Order.
• The Qty Demand field under Demand on the DOP Header/Detail tab is the same as the Revised Qty Due field on the top DOP Order.
• If serial numbers are reserved for a parent DOP Order and the quantity decreases, the correct amount of the serial numbers is unreserved.
• If a discrete unit of measure is used, the Revised Qty Due for the parent DOP Order is truncated. The revised start date is recalculated for the DOP Orders on higher levels due to revised due date and lead-time, where the lead-time is depending on lot size and routing revision and alternative.
