Use

Combined orders and their original orders are also displayed in the current stock/requirements list , from where you can call them and change them.

Features

The combined order is displayed in the current stock/requirements list with its individual items. In this case, an item represents an original order, so for each original order of a combined order, an entry is displayed in the current stock/requirements list . The MRP element for this kind of entry is MerOrd for combined orders. The description consists of the order number of the combined order and the item number of the original order in the combined order (for example: 000001000561/0001). The order quantity for this item is displayed in the Receipt/requirements field. Since the combined order is not a real production order but simply a way of linking the combined operations of the original orders, no goods receipt can take place (the stock is not changed). For this reason, the system does not display an Available quantity either. The original orders are used for goods receipt.

The combined order functions in the same way as a make-to-stock order. The entries are, therefore, not assigned to the customer segments, but are found in the plant stock segment for the material of the item or original order.

/O for original order is added to the MRP element data of the original orders (see example).

Example: Order Display in the Current Stock/Requirements List

The period total display in the current stock/requirements list does not include the quantities in the combined orders because combined orders do not have goods receipts. The goods receipt takes place in the relevant original orders.

Activities

By choosing  Edit Add. data for element and then Display element or Change element , you can display or change the combined order or original order. The two functions Order Report and Pegged Requirements have been extended to include order combination.

Order Report

The corresponding combined order or an original order is also read and displayed. The combined order is treated in the same way as a component of the original order. If the original order contains other components, in addition to the combined order, a dialog box appears. The MRP element of the combined order is displayed instead of the material.

The receipt/requirement quantity of the combined order only refers to the selected original order. This is, therefore, always the planned receipt quantity as entered in the combined order for this original order, and not the total plan quantity to be produced of the combined order. The available quantity is not displayed for the combined order because goods receipt can only be carried out for the original orders.

The components of the combined order are not assigned to an individual original order. This is why the quantity is always displayed for the components of the combined order. This quantity is required for the total plan quantity to be produced of the combined order. This must be taken into consideration if other data is displayed in the order report.

Example

Order Report

Component HDG-FIN017 of the combined order has a goods receipt of 200 PC. These are required to manufacture 20 PC for the combined order. 10 PC for material HDG-FIN018 and 10 PC for material HDG-FIN019.

One special feature of order combination is that the order reservation for the combined order always refers to the material of the reference order (in this case HDG-FIN019). The original order for material HDG-FIN018, however, is displayed.

Special Case

If several original orders that belong to the same combined order are selected for a sales order, the combined order and its components are displayed for each original order, that is, in this case, the components of the combined order are displayed several times.

Pegged Requirements

In the hierarchy, the original order is regarded as being above the combined order, even in combinations by order. This means that the pegged requirements on the first screen are always original orders or sales orders, and never a combined order.

Original orders are identified with an O . Only after you have selected Order route is the associated combined order for the original order displayed.

An additional entry is made for each original order, which displays the relationship between the combined order and original order.

Example

Pegged Requirements

The receipt/requirement quantity of the combined order is not displayed to avoid creating the idea that there is a double receipt quantity. The selected reservation of component HDG-FIN017 refers to the combined order (1002216) and not to the original order (1002215). The displayed quantity of the component refers, therefore, to the total quantity of the combined order (20 PC) and not just to the quantity to be produced of the original order (10 PC of material HDG-FIN018). In addition to this, the reservation of the combined order refers to the material of the reference order, and may differ from the material of the selected original order.
