Change Project Product

Explanation

As the project proceeds and material is demanded, there may be changes that need to be updated in the system, such as changes in the Project Delivery Structure, Requirement Activity Link, Requirement Activity Date, Std Planned Flag, MPL Part, or Demand Site. After any changes the Gross Requirement Calculation has to be run. All necessary changes in connected orders can be performed by the user. You can change the order dates and quantities.

If you want to change the structure for an item with a connected shop order some special rules has to be followed and some questions has to be answered.

  1. If a new line is added or an old line is removed you will be informed that this also will update the shop orders allocations and you must confirm if that is ok or not. If you answer ok and changes are allowed for the shop order, both structure and shop order allocations will be updated. Journal line will be created. If you answer no or the shop order is not allowed to be updated (due to status) nothing will be updated.
  2. If the quantity for a sub item is changed you will be asked if you want to change the allocation quantity as well. If you answer yes and the shop order is allowed to be changed both structure and allocation are changed. Journal line is created. If you answer no or the the shop order is not allowed to be changed, only the structure is changed. Journal line is created. In this case will the shop order be different from the structure if you answer no.
