	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>Assembly orders can be generated from sales orders (demand orders), or inserted directly in your configurator. They are placed in an initial sequence by your configurator package, and then finally sequenced in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/asc" role="module">Assembly Control</GUIRef> module (see the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/onlinemanual/000323" role="manual">Line sequencing and rule types in Assembly Control</Link> online manual topic). You can see the orders for a line in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/asc/tiasc2501m000" role="session">Assembly Line - Line Mix (tiasc2501m000)</GUIRef> session and the orders for a line station in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/asl/tiasl6510m000" role="session">Line Station - Assembly Orders (tiasl6510m000)</GUIRef> session. To see the same data sorted by assembly order, use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/asc/tiasc2502m000" role="session">Assembly Orders (tiasc2502m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>

		<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Assembly order progress</SectionTitle>
			<List><ListItem>An assembly order has the status <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/asc.asst#planned" role="enum">Planned</GUIRef> when it is transferred from your configurator package to the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/asc" role="module">Assembly Control</GUIRef> module. When this happens, <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000311" role="glossary">line-station orders</Link>, <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000306" role="glossary">line-station variants</Link> and <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000310" role="glossary">exchangable configurations</Link> are generated. The line station orders are generated both for the main line and the supplying lines of the same company. You must have already defined the assembly line structure (segments and line stations).</ListItem>
				<ListItem>The assembly order is <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/asc.asst#sequenced" role="enum">Sequenced</GUIRef> as described in the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/onlinemanual/000323" role="manual">Line sequencing and rule types in Assembly Control</Link> online manual topic. When the order is sequenced, you can start it from the <GUIRef href="" role="menu">Specific</GUIRef> menu of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/asl/tiasl6520m000" role="session">Buffer - Assembly Orders (tiasl6520m000)</GUIRef> session. You can arrange for a request from another line station, for an order to be started, using the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/asc/tiasc4200m000" role="session">Request Start - Assembly Order on Line Station (tiasc4200m000)</Link> session (or as part of workflows with the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/asl/tiasl8100m000" role="session">Process Trigger Definition (tiasl8100m000)</Link> session).</ListItem>
				<ListItem>When the first line-station order is reported complete, the status of the assembly order becomes <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/asc.asst#in.progress" role="enum">In Progress</GUIRef>. You can report a line station order complete with the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/asl/tiasl6510m000" role="session">Line Station - Assembly Orders (tiasl6510m000)</GUIRef> or <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/asc/tiasc2211m000" role="session">Report Line Station Order Complete Using Bar Code (tiasc2211m000)</GUIRef> session. If the lines station orders are reported complete in a different sequence from the planned sequence, SSA ERP automatically reschedules the orders.</ListItem>
			</List>
			<Paragraph>Before you can carry out the assembly order, you must allocate assembly parts. See the Help of the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/asc/tiasc7240m000" role="session">Build Assembly Part Allocation (tiasc7240m000)</Link> session for more details.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>You can swap orders after they have been started, as long as they still have <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000310" role="glossary">exchangable configurations</Link>. Use the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/asl/tiasl4240m000" role="session">Exchange Configurations (tiasl4240m000)</Link> session.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>When the last line-station order is reported complete, the status of the assembly order becomes <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/asc.asst#completed" role="enum">Completed</GUIRef>. When line-station orders are reported complete, you can <Link href="/baanerp/ti/onlinemanual/000304" role="manual">Assembly backflushing</Link> their hours and materials.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>You can close assembly orders with the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/asc/tiasc7210m000" role="session">Close Assembly Orders (tiasc7210m000)</GUIRef> session (from the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/asc/tiasc2501m000" role="session">Assembly Line - Line Mix (tiasc2501m000)</GUIRef>
				<GUIRef href="" role="menu">Specific</GUIRef> menu). When you close the assembly order, SSA ERP creates the financial transactions for that assembly order. If that is impossible, SSA ERP produces error messages. The <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000054" role="glossary">WIP transfer</Link> bookings are recorded in the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000053" role="glossary">calculation office</Link> of the assembly order.</Paragraph>

		<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Serialized items in assembly control</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>The as-built structure for assembly lines is generated when you have confirmed the line sequence. If you are using serialized items (that is, the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd0101s000#tcibd001.seri" role="formfield">Serialized</GUIRef> check box is selected in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd0101s000" role="session">Item - General (tcibd0101s000)</GUIRef> session), the serial numbers (for example the VIN of a car) are generated at this stage.</Paragraph>
			<List><ListIntro>The following actions you perform on assembly orders, affect the status of the as-built structure (that is, the serial numbers) of the serialized items of the assembly order:</ListIntro>
				<ListItem>Confirm line sequence.</ListItem>
				<ListItem>Report assembly order complete.</ListItem>
				<ListItem>Close assembly order.</ListItem>
				<ListItem>Reopen assembly order.</ListItem>
				<ListItem>Undo completed line station order.</ListItem>
