How to: Replan Production Orders

This planning function calculates changes made to components and routings lines, and it includes items on lower production BOM levels for which it may generate new production orders.

Based on the changes you have made to the components and routing lines, the Replan function calculates and plans for any new demand for the production order. It is typically used after you have added or changed components that constitute underlying production orders.

Note

To include changes made to the header, you must first refresh the production order. For more information, see How to: Refresh Production Orders.

To replan a production order

1. In the Search box, enter Production Orders, and then choose the related link.

2. Select the production order you want to replan.

3. On the Lines FastTab, choose Actions , choose Lines, and then choose Components.

4. Add a component, which is a produced item or subassembly.

5. From the production order, on the Actions tab, in the Functions group, choose Replan.

   In the Replan Production Order window, define how and what to replan.

6. In the Scheduling Direction field, select one of the following options.

   Option	Description
   Back	Calculates the operation sequence backwards from the earliest possible ending date, defined by due date and/or other scheduled orders, to the latest possible starting date. Note This default option is relevant in the majority of situations.
   Forward	Calculates the operation sequence forward from the earliest latest possible starting date, defined by due date and/or other scheduled orders, to the earliest possible ending date. Note This option is only relevant for expedite orders.

7. In the Plan field, select whether to calculate production requirements for produced items on the production BOM, as follows.

   Option	Description
   No Levels	Do not consider lower level production. This only updates the item’s schedule, like refresh.
   One Level	Plan for first-level production demand. First-level production orders may be created.
   All Levels	Plan for all-level production demand. All-level production orders may be created.

8. Select One Level, and choose the OK button to replan the production order, and calculate and create a new underlying production order for the introduced subassembly, if it is not fully available.

Note

Changes implemented with the Replan function are very likely to change the capacity need of the production order and you may therefore have to reschedule operations afterwards.

Quick guides for manufacturing are available in a document that you can edit and print in Microsoft Office Word. The file, called “Quick Guides – Manufacturing Foundation.doc”, is installed in the documentation folder of your client installation.
