Net DOP Branch

Explanation

Use this activity to perform netting processes for the selected order and all its lower orders. It is also possible to perform re-netting when the quantity of the structure is changed after the release; you can also re-net after canceling netting relations.

Netting is performed in the following sequence:

• Inventory - parts available in stock are automatically reserved to the DOP order
• DOP Sourced Supply Orders - excess quantities available on shop and purchase orders with demand source DOP Order are pegged to the DOP order. Only supply orders in status Planned, Released or Reserved with a due date equal to, or earlier than the DOP order due date are considered.
• Inventory Sourced Supply Orders - excess quantities available on shop and purchase orders with demand source Invent Order are pegged to the DOP order. Only supply orders in status Planned, Released or Reserved with a due date equal to, or earlier than the DOP order due date are considered.

For DOP orders where the DOP header is connected to a project, and where the Create Pegged option is set to Pegged Orders, netting is allowed only from the project inventory. If the Create Pegged option is set to No Pegged Orders, netting is allowed only from standard inventory. 

For project connected DOP orders, netting is performed in the following sequence:

• Inventory - parts available in project inventory for the same project activity are automatically reserved to the DOP order
• DOP Sourced Supply Orders - excess quantities available on shop and purchase orders connected to the same project activity with demand source DOP Order are pegged to the DOP order. Only supply orders in status Planned, Released or Reserved with a due date equal to, or earlier than the DOP order due date are considered.
• Inventory Sourced Supply Orders - excess quantities available on shop and purchase orders connected to the same project activity with demand source Project Inventory are pegged to the DOP order. Only supply orders in status Planned, Released or Reserved with a due date equal to, or earlier than the DOP order due date are considered.

Prerequisites

This activity requires that:

• The DOP order has the netting parameter set to Netting or Auto Netting.
• The status of the DOP order is not Closed or Cancelled.
• A supply order with a quantity available to peg and demand source Invent Order, or DOP Order exists. If the DOP order is connected to a project activity, the demand source can also be Project Inventory. If the DOP order is project connected, the supply order must be connected to the same project activity, or not connected to any project activity. The pre-posting of the supply order must match the pre-posting of the DOP header, or have no pre-posting. The shop order material lines / purchase order supplier material lines must match the DOP order components. If the shop order material line is DOP supplied, the DOP order ID of the shop order material line must match the DOP order ID on the corresponding DOP order component line.

System Effects

As a result of this activity:

• For DOP orders set to allow netting from inventory, available parts in stock matching the DOP order requirements are reserved to the DOP order thus reducing the demand quantity for which own supply orders needs to be generated and the quantity required for lower level DOP orders.
• For DOP orders set to allow netting from DOP sourced supply orders, quantities available to peg from shop and purchase orders matching the DOP requirements are pegged to the DOP order thus reducing the quantity for which own supply orders needs to be generated.
• For DOP order set to allow netting from inventory sourced supply orders, quantities available to peg from shop and purchase orders matching the DOP requirements are pegged to the DOP order thus reducing the quantity for which own supply orders needs to be generated.
• If serial numbers are reserved for a DOP order and the DOP order's demand is reduced due to netting, the number of the corresponding serial number will be unreserved.
