Hi,

 

When you have a Customer Order Line and Sourcing DOP, you get Purchase Req for componets related to this demand if you have “Allow MRP Explosion for DOP Parts” set to true (and that Customer order Line is set to “Released for Mtrl Planning”).

Purchase of LLIT can be done, so far so good.

But when the Customer Order is released and the DOP Header is created, the demand for purchase parts is gone. This cause issues in purchasing and MRP Action Proposal/ Inventory Part Availability Exeptions shows that you have no demend. 

Then you create the DOP Structure, and the demand is back again.


Is there some parameter I miss, as DOP Header is not seen as a demend or is it a way to automaticully create DOP Structure when the DOP Header is created?

From an user perspective it’s easy to miss the step to create DOP Structure as soon as Customer Order is released and usualy this is done in two different departments in the organisation which complicate this even more and big risk for error in supply.


I don’t want to Automaticully Release the DOP as the Product is adjusted according to customer demend and the Structure will be adjusted before release.
I want to have an option for DOP Connection “Create DOP Structure”

Couldn’t agree more. The option to automatically create a DOP Header + an unreleased DOP Structure when releasing the customer order is missing. Please create a request for this in the idea section.

It is even worse when you are dealing with configurable manufactured parts.

As long as the DOP structure is not created, the MRP will create demands based on the component usage factors of the configuration structure. 

You can help yourself out with some customizations:

  1. For customer order lines with DOP supply type, disable “Released for Mtrl Planning” as long as the customer order is not released
  2. When the customer order is released, enable the “Released for Mtrl Planning”
  3. Use a scheduled database task with a custom database procedure which selects DOP heads with objstate = “Created” and execute the Dop_Head_API.Create_Dop_Structure API

Hi Björn,
Please implement somthing for this gap in core. 
We have implemented a CRIM’s for now. 
Until the requested steps are in the std drop down list we have added new dropdown list and workflows


We also implemented a parameter in Sales Part to make new COL not approved for planning, to avoid unwanted requisitions, to set default value in COL when these are craeted. 


Additional to this we made the communication between planning and sale better by adding  a DOP Planning Status, to trigger confirmation to customer
