DOP Order

DOP orders are the basic elements of the DOP Structure. Each DOP ID may have a different product structure. A DOP order is a structure element equivalent to each part in BOM. A DOP order holds the data required to manage the acquisition of the part in question. The DOP order contains ordering information. This is information about how DOP deals with the requirements of each component part. When netting is not carried out, DOP orders correspond to actual shop/purchase orders, though not necessarily with a one-to-one match. For example, if additional shop/purchase orders are created as a result of increased demand quantity after release, more than one order will be pegged to this DOP order. In addition, when pegging is performed, the information on the pegging is also managed here. Project specific DOP orders will be tagged with the Project ID and Activity sequence that they are connected to.

The DOP header's settings are used as the default for netting and allocating parameters for the lower DOP order when you create a DOP structure using a standard BOM. In addition, a parameter corresponding to each existing DOP order is applied without any change when you create a DOP structure by copying another existing DOP structure. These parameter settings enable you to support a wide range of production types (from Engineer to Order to Make to Stock) that fully utilize excess.

When you perform a DOP order, excess may be created as the situation changes.

After the DOP order is released, the DOP header or the DOP order quantity is changed or canceled.
When a shrinkage factor is set, the pegged order's complete quantity exceeds the planned quantity. The excess can effectively be used for the a netting process.

Once the DOP structure is created, excess inventory or excess from a DOP order can be netted by the netting process when the Netting flag is set to Netting. The Netting Supply parameters define from where to net. The scope of the netting process can be specified as follows;

Full Structure - By selecting a DOP header or the top DOP order, you can perform netting for the DOP orders of the entire DOP.
Branch - By selecting an arbitrary DOP order, you can perform netting for the selected order and it's lower orders.
Specific Order - For an arbitrary DOP order, you can perform netting for the selected order only.
Manual Netting - You manually specify from which inventory location or from which DOP order you want to net. This action is made by selecting RMB choices.

You can execute the netting after releasing the DOP order; it is possible to perform re-netting when quantity and/or structure is changed after the release, or you can re-net after cancelling existing netting relations. When excess order and/or excess inventory is netted, you can check the netting information in the DOP order window.

For the release process for DOP, you can specify the scope as follows;

Full Structure - By selecting a DOP header or the top DOP order, you can perform release for the DOP orders of the entire DOP.
Branch - By specifying an arbitrary DOP order, you can perform release for the specified order and it's lower orders.
Specific Order - For an arbitrary DOP order, you can perform release for the selected order only.

The release can be done step by step from a lower level DOP order. This can minimize the impact of changes that are made after the release; changes made before the release can easily be handled.

A pegged purchase requisition or pegged shop order is created when a DOP order is released. These pegged purchase requisition lines/purchase orders/shop orders are called pegged orders. When releasing pegged project specific DOP Orders, the system will generate project specific Shop Orders or Purchase Requisitions/Purchase Orders dependent on the part type. These orders will be received into project inventory. When a pegged order is created, reservations from the lower components that are completed owned by the corresponding DOP order will also be transferred to the pegged order. Therefore, there is no need to reserve again for the pegged order.

Once the DOP order is released, you must be careful when it comes to changing the DOP structure. A DOP order can be changed until the status becomes Closed. If the pegged order and the DOP order do not match concerning time or quantity, the user will receive an alarm. When the DOP order has a shortage, you can create a new pegged order by redoing the release process.

A DOP order can have the following statuses;

Status	Description
Created	This status shows that DOP orders have been added manually. You need to change the status to Unreleased.
Unreleased	This status shows that a DOP structure has been generated for the part, but with no shop order or purchase requisition created for it's components. You can still change information without affecting other DOP orders in the same structure. If you change lot size or due date, the information is transferred down through the structure. You can only change the due date of the part on the highest level in the structure.
Netted	Parts have been netted to the DOP order.
Released	When demand is generated for any DOP order in the structure, the status of the parent part is set to Released.
Started	When some of the parts are received in inventory, the order status changes to Delivered. The order automatically receives this status when the first delivery is made or when any reporting is made on pegged orders.
Canceled	The DOP order will not be used further and all quantities will be set to zero (0).
Closed	For a DOP order to receive this status, all material must be received into inventory and all underlying orders must be complete. If an underlying order has status Released or higher, you will receive a warning.
