| An assembly kit is an order-dependent set of items that must be supplied together to the shop-floor warehouse. You can define assembly kits in the Assembly Kit (whwmd4550m000) session. To specify which items are part of an assembly kit, you must link the assembly kit to a warehouse and item combination in the Warehouse - Item (whwmd2110s000) session. You can only make use of assembly kits if the supply method for the warehouse and item combination is order-controlled/SILS. The items that are supplied to the shop-floor warehouse by means of an assembly kit can differ per order, however it is the same assembly kit. Assembly Control can trigger a call-off of items for a specific item. If the called-off items are part of the same assembly kit, Warehouse Management must deliver the items together to the shop-floor warehouse. To view the sequence in which the items must be delivered to the shop-floor warehouse, use the Shipping Sequence (whinh4520m000) session. To view assembly kits call-offs and quantities, use the Line Station - Assembly Part Supply Transfer (SILS) (tiasc8520m000) session. Example Cars are manufactured with an option to fit a radio. If the assembly line requires the radio's components, they are delivered in the form of an assembly kit, called Radio. However, different radio sets can be ordered for the cars. These radio sets can all belong to the assembly kit Radio. For example, the assembly kit Radio contains the following items: Three types of radios: Radio 1, Radio 2, and Radio 3 Three types of frames: Frame 1, Frame 2, and Frame 3 Two types of aerials: Aerial 1 and Aerial 2 Four types of speakers: Speaker 20W, Speaker 30W, Speaker 40W, Speaker 50W Cables For item Car100, the following items that are part of assembly kit Radio, are called off by call-off 100: Radio 2 Frame 2 Aerial 1 2 Speaker 20W 2 Speaker 40W Cables These items are delivered to the shop-floor warehouse together as assembly kit Radio for parent serialized item Car100 and call-off 100. For item Car101, the following items that are part of the assembly kit Radio, are called off by call-off 101: Radio 3 Frame 3 Aerial 2 2 Speaker 30W Cables These items are delivered to the shop-floor warehouse together as assembly kit Radio for parent serialized item Car101 and call-off 101. |
