Merge Shop Order into Shop Order

Explanation

Use this activity to combine one or more shop orders into another. This is a way to ensure that shop orders match their maximum lot size.

Prerequisites

This activity requires that the shop orders being merged into another must be in the Planned or Released states. The shop orders being merged into each other must be for the same part and site. The shop order into which you are merging the other shop orders must exist.

If the parent part is manually pegged against a customer order line or a shop order, the pegging has to be removed first.

System Effects

As a result of this activity the system causes the selected shop order to disappear with its connected Materials, Operations and Operation tools, since it is now a part of the shop order into which you merged it. The lot size for the new shop order increases and the scheduling in time changes due to the larger lot size.
