How do I release a shop order with panel SFC's?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am transferring a shop order from another system using the ERPProductionOrderService Web-service. In this message

I include the panel SFC's that I have already created in the other system and I release the shop order immediately with the release tag.

This works fine for panels with lot size = 1, but for panels with lot size > 2 I receive an error "SFC/Serial Numbers cannot be specified for a Shop Order for a Material with a Lot Size greater than 1".

Hi Johan,

Could you try leaving out <me:ShopOrderSFCPlanList> tag?

Once you use <me:Release>all</me:Release>, in addition you can specify <me:Starting> tag underneath <me:ShopOrderReleaseInfo> to set the initial sequence for Next Number pattern to start generating new SFCs.

Hi Sergiy,

I want to use the SFC's generated by the other system together with the shop order from the other system, so I do not want to create new SFC's with the next number pattern.

Best Regards,

Johan,

I guess it is an intentional limitation within the design to avoid possible confusion with calculation of a number of SFCs to generate. That's why it is left for the system instead of taking this info from the sender.

I could think of using SFC Qty Adjustment activity but it looks a bit awkward and not sure if it will work with panels.

Hi Sergiy,

I wan't to be able to do all steps with web-services, but I can not seem to find the web service for SFC Qty adjustment. Even though I am not totally sure that SFC Qty adjustment is really what I want to do in this case.

Johan,

I cannot find WS for Qty Adjustment either, but I talked about POD plugin.

Anyway, I guess you cannot implement your scenario with the basic WS.

However, here is some cheating as a workaround:

- create a material M1 as panel of Qty = 1;

- send WS to create SO for M1 of Qty = 5, with SFC Plan of 5 SFCs/SNs, but without Release tag;

- update M1 to set Qty = 2;

- send updated WS where no SFC Plan, Qty = 10 and Release = all;

- actual result: 5 SFCs each of Qty = 2 are generated.

Though, I would not rely upon this workaround.

Sergiy,

Thanks for the tip. I will try it, though I don't think this will be my final solution. I intend to write a web-service to be able to setup the shop order for my first resource in the routing and then release each SFC like this instead.
