| Build Assembly Part Allocation (tiasc7240m000) |  |
| Use this session to allocate assembly parts to shop-floor warehouses within the allocation time fence. The following four points are covered in this Help topic: Allocation mode: Order Based or Line Station Based. Allocation of assembly parts to the shop-floor warehouse. Time buckets. Allocation of assembly parts. Allocation Mode Allocation of assembly parts can be carried out in one of two modes, which are defined in the Transaction Processing field of the Assembly Control Parameters (tiasc0100m000) session: Order Based The assembly parts are allocated to the shop-floor warehouse of the line station for every assembly order. ERP LN creates one clustered line-station order (CLSO) for every line station order. Line Station Based The assembly parts are allocated to the shop-floor warehouse for each bucket. The parts for all the assembly orders that fall in each bucket are combined and allocated together. ERP LN creates a separate CLSO for each line station. Existing assembly orders are taken into account when orders are generated, and when material requirements are recalculated. How to determine to which shop-floor warehouse the parts are allocated You link a shop-floor warehouse to a line station in the Shop Floor Warehouse field of the Work Centers (tirou0101m000) session. You can only link a shop floor warehouse to a line station if the following conditions are met: The Use of Shop Floor Warehouses check box in the Shop Floor Control Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session is selected. The Station Type field in the Stations (tiasl1551m000) session must read Line Station. Time Buckets The size and number of buckets are determined by two factors: Your time bucket data. Refer to the help of the Bucket Definition (tiasl1100m000) session for more details. You can define buckets that become larger as you plan further into the future. If you plan to make many changes to the assembly orders, you must define smaller buckets. The Allocation Time Fence field in the Assembly Control Parameters (tiasc0100m000) session determines the total time for which you plan. Note You must define buckets for the entire Allocation Time Fence. If you have an order that only partly falls in the time fence, allocation is not planned in ASC. Allocation of assembly parts In the case of Line Station Based transaction processing, allocation is performed per bucket, per line station. All the requirements by bucket and line station can be combined. This results in fewer transactions than would occur if every order were processed separately. The cumulative allocated assembly part requirements are logged in a clustered line station order (CLSO). The CLSO is communicated to Warehouse Management. You can view the cumulative allocated assembly part requirements in the Clustered Line Station Order - Assembly Part Requirements (tiasc7140m000) session.
