You can submit the program in prespecified intervals. For example, to submit the program each day at midnight, specify midnight in the Run Options. You can also submit this program using Oracle Bills of Material. See: Autocreating Configuration Items and Final Assembly Orders.

The Assemble To Order Mass Load Report is automatically printed after you submit the AutoCreate Final Assembly Orders program. This report lists sales orders, by sales order number, that the system was unable to create final assembly orders for.

Attention: When you autocreate a final assembly order, the sales order line delivery quantity becomes the default quantity for the discrete job and the assembly's primary bill and routing are used.

   To autocreate final assembly orders:

1. Navigate to the AutoCreate Final Assembly Orders window. The Parameters window appears.

2. Optionally, select the Sales Order number.

A discrete job is created for each sales order shipment number associated with the sales order number. If you enter an order number, you cannot enter Offset Days, Load Type, or Organization. If you do not enter an order number, you must enter Offset Days and Load Type.

3. Enter the number of Offset Days.

The number of offset days is added to the current date to determine when final assembly orders must be released to the shop floor to be completed by the sales order due date. The final assembly order release date is backwards scheduled using the order from the sales order due date. For example, if the current date is 01-JAN-1996 and you specify 7 offset days, final assembly orders are created that must be released between 01-JAN-1996 and 08-JAN-1996 to meet the due dates of the sales orders they are supplying. Orders that should have been released before the current date are also included.

4. Select one of the following Load Type options.

Configured items only: Final assembly orders created from sales orders for ATO configuration items. For example, items you created from a model and options using the AutoCreate Configuration Items program in Oracle Bills of Material.

Non-configured items only: Final assembly orders created from sales orders for ATO non-configuration items such as, items where you have a standard part number but which you do not build until you receive a sales order.

Both configured and non-configured items: Final assembly orders created from sales orders for both ATO configuration and ATO non-configuration items.

5. Select one of the following job Statuses: Unreleased, Released, or On Hold. See: Discrete Job Statuses.

6. Enter the Organization.

If you do not enter an Organization, sales order demand across all organizations is examined.

7. Select the accounting Class to be used as the default for the jobs that are created.

Default accounting classes may be displayed but can be overwritten. See: WIP Accounting Class Defaults, Discrete Parameters, and Discrete Accounting Classes.

8. Choose OK.

9. Submit the autocreate request. See: Submitting a Request.
