Subsequent Changes and Assembly Processing 

Use

One of the advantages of assembly processing is that changes in the sales document are updated in the network and vice versa.

Features

Changes in the Sales Document

Any changes in customer requirements, which are made in the sales document, are passed on to the network until the network header has the status

In the schedule line, you can change the confirmed date but you cannot change the order quantity or the requested delivery date.

If you cancel a sales document item for which a network has been generates using assembly processing, the system automatically sets a deletion flag for the network header and subordinate objects. During this, the system checks whether a deletion flag can be set for the network. If a deletion flag cannot be set, the system issues a corresponding message. For more details, see System Statuses in Networks.

Changes in the Network

Any changes made to dates and quantities in the network are updated in the sales document automatically unless the fixed quantity and date indicator has been set for the item in the sales document.

Any changes to costs in the network are updated in the sales document. However, if required, you can also switch off this link between the network and the sales document. To do this, select the No update indicator in the appropriate requirements class. If you have selected this indicator, any changes in the network are not passed on to the sales document.

Changes to Master Data

Any changes which are made to the master data after you have created the network are not updated automatically in the sales document or the network. If the changes are relevant for the sales document and network, you must update these documents manually.
