We are facing problems when converting planned
orders to process orders. During conversion when BOM is re-exploded it is not
using the same production version as specified in the planned order instead it
defaults to the first one it sees.
I need to know if I am missing any settings
anywhere.....
First ensure that setting in the material master for
BOM explosion is "Selection thru prod version".
Then Pls check the validity periods of the new
production version.
e.g
Prod Ver Val frm val to No lot size variation
0001 01.01.2007 31.12.9999
0002 01.01.2007 31.01.2007
or
0001 01.01.2007 31.12.9999
0002 01.01.2007 31.12.2007
Then in both the cases system will always pick prod ver
0001 default (Longer validity period). If not the case then
Check for lot size variation (if lot size dependent.)
Further if you are not able to select the req prod Ver
then you can lock the earlier prod version(if it is not in use).
To avoid this prob in future.... always use "Valid to
date" either in limits (31.12.2007) or without limit (31.12.9999) for all prod
version of a material.
When we have to go for Planned order conversion to
Process order, it is used in manufacturing industry or process industry, when
exactly we use process orders?
