Use this function to continue the structure break down of a serial effective DOP Order part.
As a result of this activity, the status of the new DOP orders will change to Unreleased unless the orders are automatically released. In that case, the status will be Released. If you have allowed an automatic release of DOP orders, the component DOP orders will be released automatically when the structure is created. You specify this in the Auto Release field in the DOP Header/Detail tab. Releasing a DOP order means generating a shop order or a purchase requisition for the DOP Order. The actual DOP Order and the higher levels in the structure will not be released.
If the DOP header is project specific, DOP Orders that are created in the structure will be tagged with Project ID and Activity Sequence. When releasing pegged project specific DOP Orders, the system will generate project specific Shop Orders or Purchase Requisitions/Purchase Orders dependent on the part type. These orders will be received into project inventory.
When you create a DOP structure, any intermediate steps in the structure are deleted. Parts with planning method K and P, (Blow throughs and Phantom parts), are considered intermediate steps.
If a DOP order is serial effective the break done will stop on the DOP order and a log will be created. The log will be displayed in DOP Logs. If you have allowed an automatic release of DOP orders, higher levels structure straight to the top order will not be released. After continuing the structure break down for the DOP Order the actual DOP Log will disappear from the table.
A valid routing revision and a plannable or buildable routing alternative will be added for each DOP order. If no buildable or plannable routing alternative exist for the part a DOP log is created, but the creation of the structure will continue. If the routing is serial effective and no serial numbers are reserved for the DOP order a DOP log is created, but the creation of the structure will continue.
The due date and the start date are calculated for each DOP order in the structure, depending on due date and start date of the parent DOP order, lead-time and lead-time offset, where the lead-time is depending on lot size and routing revision and alternative.
