Use

You can use this function to adapt an assembly order to configuration changes in the sales order when actual costs have already been debited for this order (for example, by confirmations or material withdrawals).

The process that starts with the determination of the necessary changes and ends with the adaption of the assembly order is called Change comparison .

Integration

This function integrates Order Change Management and Assembly Processing with Production Orders . This provides functions from order change management that have been modified for assembly processing.

Prerequisites

To use this function, the following prerequisites must be met:

The overall profile for order change management must be entered in the material master under Work scheduling in the Overall profile field (see Creating Initiating Object Records ).

Assembly processing must be defined for the material (see Special Settings for Production Orders ). That is, the material has planning strategy 82 (material master area MRP) .

Features

The changes are executed in the following ways:

If changes up to the conflict level "information" have occurred in the production order, the system executes the change comparison automatically.

If at least one change step has the conflict level "warning" or "error", the change comparison must be completed manually (production order status MADJ = manual adjustment necessary). The production order changes are executed in the Overview of the Change Steps .

You set the changes that have lead to an error to Do not execute . You can decide whether or not changes that have lead to a warning are to be executed.

When you have processed all change steps, complete the change comparison (see Completing a Change Comparison ).
