Hi, I would like to raise this question in the forum to understand how different users handle the situation described below. I am working with a customer whose BOM structure contains multiple levels sometimes up to seven.

When we create a shop order for the top level item and run MRP, shop order requisitions and purchase requisitions for the lower level components are generated automatically. After converting these shop order requisitions into shop orders, is there a way to view all child shop orders linked to the top-level shop order?

Essentially, my customer wants to see the related shop orders and the material availability for each of them.

We can review the BOM structure using MRP Part Information (Top-Down), but this does not provide a clear view of the shop order hierarchy or the critical path.

How would you address this type of requirement? Are there standard functionalities or possible views that could help achieve this?

MRP is just planning enough shop orders to prevent inventory from going negative.  The Shop Orders generated by MRP have no concept of being “linked” to any parent.  

IFS calls this linking “pegging”.

DOP (dynamic order processing) does this pegging automatically to generate one connected multi-level structure of shop orders.  I would suggest looking into that functionality if they want to view their shop orders as “linked” to parents.

Hi, DOP does the pegging automatically, also there is possibility to peg Purchase Orders and Shop Orders to Shop Order material lines using Manual Pegging functionality, as it says its a Manual Work and can be very time consuming.
