| Use this session to display and define the general and costing data of an assembly line. The costing data is defined in Line Assembly Configurator (LAC), in Configurator. Assembly lines consist of a series of line segments. Segments in turn consist of a buffer and one or more line stations, until the next buffer. The calendar that is linked to Calendar Code, together with the Availability Type that is defined in the ASC parameters, determines the working hours of the assembly line. You can view which line segments belong to the assembly line in the Assembly Line - Line Segments (tiasl1541m000) session. You can view which lines stations belong to the assembly line in the Line Segment - Stations (tiasl1550m000) session. Menu options The Specific menu contains various options to start the following sessions related to assembly lines: Close Assembly Lines (tiasc7220m000) Build Assembly Part Allocation (tiasc7240m000) Backflush Requirements (tiasc7241m000) Offset Line Station Orders (tiasl4230m000) Purge State-independent ASC Data (tiasl1210m000) Purge State-dependent ASC Data (tiasl1200m000) Purge and Renumber Sequences (tiasl4201m000) Assembly Line - Line Segments (tiasl1541m000) Assembly Line - Status (tiasc7520m000) Assembly Line - Line Mix (tiasc2501m000) Assembly Line - Line Utilization (tiasl3500m000) Assembly Line - Assignments (tiasc5510m000) The options on the File menu allow you to start the following print sessions: Print Assembly Line Structure (tiasl1430m000) Print Costing by Assembly Order or Assembly Line (tiasc7411m000) Print Financial Transactions by Assembly Line (tiasc7414m000) Related topics Assembly control overview Assembly order costing Line sequencing and rule types in Assembly Control
Fields | Description
Assembly Line | A set of consecutive line stations in which FAS (Final Assembly Schedule) items are manufactured. The items are manufactured by passing the items from line station to line station and by carrying out operations at each line station. An assembly line is subdivided into a number of line segments separated by buffers. An assembly line can be either a main line or a supplying line.

Company | A working environment in which you can carry out logistic or financial transactions. All the transaction data is stored in the company's database. Depending on the type of data that the company controls, the company is: A logistic company. A financial company. A logistic and a financial company. In a multisite structure, some of the database tables can be unique for the company and the company can share other database tables with other companies.
Calendar Code | The calendar, together with the availibility type that is defined in the parameters, that defines the working times of the assembly line. If you are working in a different company from the company of the assembly line, this field will be empty and unavailable.
WIP Transfer Handling | How the WIP transfer is carried out. Related topics Assembly order costing WIP transfers in the Assembly Control (ASC) module
Material Cost Component | Select the cost components you want to use for material costs on this assembly line. All the matierial costs are aggregated to this cost component. The material costs of the assembly parts can be stored by many different cost components. Every assembly part can have a different cost component. If you are working in a different company from the company of the assembly line, this field will be empty and unavailable. Related topics Assembly order costing
Operation Cost Component | Select the cost components you want to use for operation costs on this assembly line. The operation costs are stored on this cost component. You can have operation costs that are related to assembly operations, and operation costs that are related to the operations to manufacture the assembly parts. Operation costs of the assembly parts can be stored on many different cost components if they are not aggregated. All operations are aggregated to the component in this field. If you are working in a different company from the company of the assembly line, this field will be empty and unavailable. Related topics Assembly order costing
Surcharge Cost Component | Select the cost components you want to use for overhead costs on this assembly line. The surcharge costs are stored on this cost component. You can have surcharge costs that are related to the assembly operations and to the material and surcharge costs that are related to activities on the assembly line. The latter is the line surcharge. Surcharge costs of the assembly parts and operations can be stored on many different cost components if they are not aggregated. All surcharge costs are aggregated to the component in this field. If you are working in a different company from the company of the assembly line, this field will be empty and unavailable. Related topics Assembly order costing
Calculation Office | View the line station that you want to use as the calculation office for this assembly line. In Assembly Control (ASC), this line station is used for administrative purposes only. After the final assembly line of the assembly orders is closed, the WIP is transferred to the calculation office. If you are working in a different company from the company of the assembly line, this field will be empty and unavailable.

Assembly Order Time Fence | A reference date against which processes or statuses are evaluated. Example The assembly order time fence on an assembly line defines the end date of the period for which assembly orders must be created. If this time fence is 100 days, assembly orders must be created for product variants whose planned offline date is between now and 100 days. Similarly, a time fence can define when line station orders must be frozen, updated, and so on.
Refresh Time Fence | The time taken to refresh assembly orders.
