If demanded materials will be delivered by production, Production Order is selected as Delivery Type on demand slip lines.
The bill of materials and revision to be used in production of demanded materials are specified on the BOM Code and Revision Code fields of demand slip line.
The BOM Code entered on the BOM Relation window of the material is transferred as default into the BOM Code field of the BOM Code proposal slip, and can be changed if necessary.
The Production Orders are generated automatically when Demand Delivery is performed for the demand slip. The planning method of the generated Production Orders is Forward. The output connection field of transaction connections displays the demand slip causing the transaction.
If demand lines selected on output connections are attempted to be deleted, the application displays "Demand lines with production order connection can not be removed" message and the deletion is not allowed.
If demand slips used in output connections are attempted to be deleted, the application displays "Production Order connections will be removed" message, and the slip is deleted if the user confirms.
Existing production orders for which a full output relation is not established can also be used for the demand delivery operation instead of giving a new Production Order. However, selectable production orders must have the following characteristics:
- Must be released.
- The status should be Not Started or Work in Process.
- Output relation should not be established for the whole planned production quantity.
- The related Planned Input from Production Slip Date should be before the Procurement Date.
When production orders used in demand delivery are cancelled, the application warns the user with "Demand slip connection will be removed" message. The production order is cancelled if this message is confirmed.
