Add DOP Branch
Explanation
This activity is used to add a DOP structure branch for a specific DOP order.
The new DOP structure branch can either be created from BOM or copied from another
DOP structure.
This is done using the Create DOP Structure/Routing
dialog. To access the dialog click Change Structure/Routing,
then Add Branch on the
DOP Order page. In the dialog specify whether you want to
add a branch structure from BOM or from another DOP structure by enabling
either Create DOP Structure/Routing
from Part Structure/Routing or
Copy DOP Structure/Routing
from other DOP. To create the DOP structure from BOM, select the
revision and alternate for the structure and routing in the
Create DOP Structure/Routing from Part Structure/Routing
section. To copy the DOP structure from an existing DOP structure, enter the
DOP order whose structure is to be used in the DOP ID field in the
Copy DOP Structure/Routing
from other DOP section.
This can also be done from
the DOP Header
page when expanding the tree structure in order to display the DOP order.
Prerequisites
- The Create
Pegged field in the settings section on the Details
tab on the DOP Order page for the DOP order must be set to
Pegged Orders.
- If the parent DOP order is released, the status of its supply shop
order must be Planned, Released or Reserved.
- Pegged purchase orders must not exist.
System Effects
As a result of this activity:
- A DOP branch is added to the DOP structure. The status of the DOP
orders is set to Unreleased.
The
Structure Changed
flag will be displayed for the specific DOP order and the DOP header.
If the parent DOP order is Released, a new component is added to
its supply shop orders.
- If the DOP order under consideration is project specific, the new DOP branch
added will be tagged with project ID and activity sequence.
- When you create a DOP structure, any intermediate steps in the
structure are deleted. Parts with planning methods K and P (blow through and
phantom
parts) are considered intermediate steps.
- 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 be netted as soon as the DOP order is
created to avoid material shortages in the future.
- If a DOP order is serial effective, the breaking-down stops at the DOP
order level and a log is created. The log is displayed on
DOP Logs page. If you have
allowed an automatic release of DOP orders, higher levels in the structure
are not released.
- If adding a DOP structure from BOM, a valid routing revision and a plannable
or buildable routing alternate are added for each DOP order. If no buildable
or plannable routing alternate exists for the part, a DOP log is created;
however, the creation of the structure continues. If copying a DOP structure
from another DOP structure, the routing revision and routing alternate are
copied to each DOP order. If the routing is serial effective and no serial
numbers are reserved for the DOP order, a DOP log is created; however, the
creation of the structure continues.
- The due date and start date are updated for the DOP order to which the branch
is added. For each new DOP order that is created, the due date and
start date are set. For information on how this is done, see Plan DOP Orders.
- If the site has Schedule and Create Load for DOP Order
Operations enabled, machine and labor load of source
Scheduled DOP are created for the DOP order operations based on
the quantity remaining to supply on the DOP orders, plus the planned
supply scrap for that quantity. This applies to DOP orders with
manufactured parts that have the status Unreleased or
Netted and Create Pegged set to
Pegged Orders.
