			<SimpleSection><SectionTitle>Product Engineering Quantity</SectionTitle>
				<Paragraph>The allocation of assembly parts is based on product engineering. Allocation using product engineering is a fast but approximate material requirements calculation method. The number of assembly parts for each engineering module is calculated using demand from real sales orders and hypothetical 'pseudo orders'. An engineering module is a group of standard parts, without routings, assembly lines, options, and so on, for a particular system, such as the electrical system or transmission. An engineering module is not actually manufactured and is for design and planning purposes only.</Paragraph>
			</SimpleSection>
			<SimpleSection><SectionTitle>Process Engineering Quantity</SectionTitle>
				<Paragraph>The allocation of assembly parts is based on process engineering. SSA ERP calculates the requirement for assembly parts using all the relevant data for the assembly line, including <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000095" role="glossary">option combinations</Link>, product structures, and so on.</Paragraph>
				<Paragraph>Note that process engineering has no connection with either process industries or process-triggered workflow.</Paragraph>

Using the maximum quantity enables you to compensate for possible errors in the calculation based on either of the previously mentioned processes.</Paragraph>

			<Note><SectionTitle>Note</SectionTitle>
				<Paragraph>This parameter only applies to line-station orders with the status <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/asc.lsst#frozen" role="enum">Frozen</GUIRef>. For line-station orders with another status, the allocation of assembly parts is based on product engineering. You can see the status in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/asc/tiasc2510m000" role="session">Assembly Order - Line Station Orders (tiasc2510m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
