Release DOP Header

Explanation

This activity is used to release a DOP structure manually. This is mandatory for DOP Orders that are not released automatically.

For a DOP Header connected to a project activity, it will not be possible to release the DOP Header if the activity has not been released.

Prerequisites

• At least one DOP Order with a status of Created, Netted or Unreleased must exist. (Otherwise the Release All option will not be enabled)
• If any DOP Orders in the structure to release are serial effective, serial numbers must be reserved for these DOP Orders.

System Effects

As a result of this activity,

• The system releases all DOP Orders which are not released in the DOP structure. The status will be changed to Released, which will allow you to further process the DOP Order. Pegged orders or requisitions are created in order to meet the remaining demand.
• When releasing a project pegged DOP Header, the system will create a project pegged Shop Order or Purchase Requisition/Purchase Order, depending on the part type given for the project part in inventory. The project pegged order is received into project inventory.
• If the DOP netting method on the header had been set to AutoNetting, DOP Orders and supply orders pegged to the header will be automatically netted.
• A check is done before release to see if the routing is Buildable or null. If the routing still is Plannable or has become obsolete a DOP log is created.
• An error message will pop up if user attempts to release a DOP Header connected to an activity which is not released.
