The sequence of the registered order when use the auto-replenishment
Q：The order is put in from XXXXXX0009 to XXXXXX0013. The dispatching rule is specified as "Order code"to "Ascending". The item is set "Auto-replenish flag" to "Yes". Then schedule it in the forward , and order M00104 and M00105 will be made in the replenishment order.The sequence of the order is not rowed in the dispatching rule (XXXXXX0010 is in the front and XXXXXX0009 is behind ) How to let it as the rule.By the way,setting "Auto-replenish flag" to "Yes"(One-to-one production), the sequence of the order is rowed in the order code.In addition, can be Auto-replenished without chenging the sequence of the order (the item replenished can't be settled. )
A：
As you know , when reassigned in the forward ,you need to reassign the replenishment order first than the registered order.So when reassign the replenishment order , you must to set it as the dispatching rule of the code of the pegged registered order.So we specify a expression as follows
Min(ME.Order.RightmostOrder,TARGET.Code)
Now compare with the code of the pegged the rightmost orders ,the character code will be dispatched from the small one.
the answer for the second qustion,do not make it to the operation which you don't want to change in the filter operations . That means needn't cancel the reassign if you don't want to change it.And just cancel the reassignment of replenishment order and made it to be auto-replenished.
