Use

A trigger point is an object that can be assigned to an operation in order to trigger a function.

Trigger points can trigger functions,

·        If the status of an operation changes (example)

·        When an operation is confirmed. In this case the user decides whether the function is triggered (example)

Note

You can also trigger a function by linking a user status to a ‘reason for variance’ (example).

Features

At present, the following functions can be triggered:

·        Releasing directly succeeding operations

You can release all operations which come directly after the operation

·        Releasing operations up to stop indicator

You can release all operations up to and including the next operation with a release stop indicator.

·        Releasing preceding operations

You can release all operations which come before the operation in the order

·        Creating a new order by copying

You can create a new order. The order is created without reference to material using a reference operation set.

·        Including a reference operation set

You can include a reference operation set in the existing order. In this case you need to specify the operation after which the operation set is to be inserted. A production order is always rescheduled after a reference operation set has been included via a trigger point.

·        Triggering a workflow task

You can trigger a task defined as a workflow ( Trigger Points).

To minimize the effort involved in creating trigger points, you can create standard trigger points and trigger point groups.
