Cumulative Order Create
Use Cumulative Order Create (18.22.11) to create new cumulative orders in advance in a batch-oriented setting. This prevents the system from having to create them during repetitive transactions, and ensures a better response time for items with many components.
To use this function, orders must already exist in the system. The new order is based on the old, with a different effective date. For each cumulative order selected, the system checks to see if a cumulative order exists with an effective date range that includes the day after the entered End Effective date. A new cumulative order is created if none exists. The Start and End Effective dates of the new cumulative order are set based on the End Eff Default Method in Repetitive Control.
A cumulative order is created for a profile that defines the site, item number, production line, routing code, and BOM/formula code for the order, and start and end effective dates. Two orders that have the same profile cannot have overlapping effective dates. When a cumulative order is created:
• The work order ID is automatically assigned.
• The work order number is blank.
• The work order type is C.
• The work order status is R.
