SAP DM - How to lock an order

[okakoshow]

Dear all experts,

Is there any way to release an order which I don't want operator to start yet?

This is because I don't want operaters to start an SFC in patriculer material, but an order would be integrated from S/4.

Regards,

As default we already use a 2 stage release process. First you release the order in ERP which then integrates it to SAP DM, then when you are ready to start work you carry out the 2nd release In SAP DM which releases it to the shop floor ready for the operators to start work on it.

Thank you for answering my question.

I have another question about SFC auto-release setting.

(https://help.sap.com/docs/sap-digital-manufacturing/execution/enabling-auto-release-of-production-an...)

Is it possible to switch auto-release setting depending on material?

In addition to that, you can also put Orders and SFCs on hold. See: Manage Holds at https://help.sap.com/docs/sap-digital-manufacturing/execution/manage-holds and Putting a Release on Hold at https://help.sap.com/docs/sap-digital-manufacturing/execution/releasing-orders which might also make sense to you, depending on your specific requirements.

Yes, you should definitely be able to define a custom XSLT logic to perform auto-release (<QuantityToRelease>all</QuantityToRelease>) depending on the IDOC material for the Order Download workflow.

Could you tell me how to define auto-release in paticular material?

[ManoelCosta]

You can implement a 'Custom XSLT' in the LOIPRO Workflow on DM, using XSLT logic on top of MATNR field to decide for which materials to include <QuantityToRelease>all</QuantityToRelease> or not. Br, Manoel
