Community,
Though we are make to order, however we are not using DOP since initial implementation.
when customer order is placed, sales part supply code is “Inventory Order”, so MRP will create supply, but the problem is, if we get a demand for 50 PCS machines, MRP probably will generate 500 shop orders to supply.
what is the most efficient and most quickest way to track the parent shop orders. when kid shop order is completed, easy to track the next parent shop orders?
Thank you.
We have added a custom field to the Shop Order header. In this field, we place the Demand order manually, usually the customer order line top level. Then we can track shortages all the way to the CO if needed. We do this to avoid using DOP as well because it is a soft connection (not pegged), so there is more flexibility if an item needs moved to another order with higher priority.
Thank you.
Typically it is through IPAP and the dates for the orders. The product variety and frequency of orders allows for the alignment based on dates and the planner knowing the product, so they can initially view the new orders and know based on date and product which order it came from that was just added yesterday. They can then copy/paste into the field for a large number of orders at one time, then find the stragglers later. Depends on how deep they want to go with linking the orders.
