Cross-referencing Orders
You can cross-reference (or "peg") an order to another order. For example, you might cross-reference a demand to a supply or a demand to a replenishment demand. To represent a cross-reference relationship and to ensure that the Planner allocates the supply only to the demand to which it is pegged, you must set up the database records as shown in these example relationships:
| Relationship | Demand or BOM Item Record | Supply or Replenishment Demand Record |
|---|---|---|
| Demand xref’d to a supply | ORDER.REFORDERID should contain the ID from MATLDELV.ORDERID | Enable the XREF flag (bit19) in MATLDELV.FLAGS |
| Demand xref’d to a replenishment demand | ORDER.REFORDERID should contain the ID from ORDER.ORDERID | Enable the XREF flag (bit19) in ORDER.FLAGS |
| BOM item xref’d to a supply | PBOMMATLS.REFORDERID should contain the ID from MATLDELV.ORDERID | Enable the XREF flag (bit19) in MATLDELV.FLAGS |
| BOM item xref’d to a replenishment demand | PBOMMATLS.REFORDERID should contain the ID from ORDER.ORDERID | Enable the XREF flag (bit19) in ORDER.FLAGS |
Note: You cannot cross-reference a supply to multiple
demands (a cross-reference is a 1-to-1 relationship between a demand
and a supply).
Note: When the Planner plans a cross-referenced demand
and supply, and there is not enough supply quantity to satisfy the demand,
the system allocates as much of the supply as is available and generates
an exception message to alert you of the shortage.
Note: If the demand's due date is earlier than the
cross-referenced supply's due date, the Planner generates the exception
message "Move In Receipt."
