APS - Management of order related work orders and operations
Hello,
an our customer is trying to use the APS tool in a very intensive way, but is facing some issue in the management of the work order structure.
In the APS list view, for order related items, you see only the first level of the work orders structure (even if the APS calculate the whole structure).
The customer built different scenarios for different responsibles (based on resources used in the routing), but in this case is not possible to filter only sublevel work orders... the systems alway shows only the first level work order... not the relevant work orders for each responsibles (i.e work order position 50). So it's very difficult for them to manage and plan production from APS scenario
How we can manage this request? Storage related orders are not feasible for them.

Hi,
This is difficult. If position 50 is moved, the entire structure including position 10 must also be adjusted again.
So if you try to plan only at the lower levels, this will inevitably lead to problems.
An alternative would actually be warehouse-related production with reservation:
- Enable all reservation features
- Sub-assemblies based on bearings
- Set Breakdown to "always" in the parts list
This is an order-related resolution with warehouse-related production. I haven't played through it, but it might be an approach
