Net

Explanation

Use this activity to manually initiate the automatic netting processes for a specific DOP order or DOP header. You can also automatically initiate this netting process upon release of the individual DOP order or its header. This requires certain basic data settings for DOP. Refer to the activity Set DOP Netting Method. 

It is also possible to perform re-netting when either the quantity or the structure is changed after the release; you can re-net after canceling netting relations.

Netting is performed in the following sequence:

• Excess inventory (inventory with no netting relations within 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 the Create Pegged option is set to Pegged Orders, netting is allowed only from the project inventory. If the Create Pegged option is set to No Pegged Orders, netting is allowed only from standard inventory. 

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

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

Prerequisites

• 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 DOP order is netted.
• If serial numbers are reserved for a DOP order and the DOP order's demand is reduced due to netting, the number of corresponding serial numbers is unreserved.
