They are used to plan and schedule the production of materials that are dependent on the availability of other materials. For example, if a certain material is needed for the production of another material, a dependent order can be used to ensure that the necessary material is available when needed.

  In SAP's Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (SCM-APO-PPS) component, dependent orders can be created by selecting the “Create Dependent Order” option from the menu. This will open a window where the user can enter the details of the order, such as the material to be produced, the quantity to be produced, and any other relevant information. Once all of the details have been entered, the order can be saved and scheduled.
