| # Product Variant - Assembly Lines (tiapl3520m000) Use this session to view on which assembly lines a product variant is assembled. This session also displays whether the required assembly parts are already allocated in Assembly Control, and whether the assembly order on the specified assembly line is frozen. Note The same order on another assembly line cannot be frozen or only partly frozen. Related topics Assembly planning overview Product Variant The code of the product variant. Assembly Line The code of the assembly line on which the generic item is assembled. Assembly Order The code of the assembly order for the production of the generic item. Item The code of the generic item that is assembled. The item must have the following characteristics: The item type must be Generic The item must be Serialized The item must have ordering data The item ordering system must be FAS These characteristics are defined in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session and the Items - Ordering (tcibd2500m000) session. Assembly Parts Allocated If this check box is selected, the assembly parts for this assembly order are allocated in Warehouse Management by Assembly Control. If the parts are already allocated, the assembly line and order are not considered in the calculation of the assembly part requirements, which is executed when you run the Calculate Assembly Part Requirements (tiapl2221m000) session. If you run that session, all assembly lines for which not all assembly parts are allocated are taken into account, and the parts concerned are allocated by Assembly Planning. The allocation of the assembly parts by Assembly Planning differs from the allocation by Assembly Control, because the allocation by Assembly Planning is less detailed and provides better performance for large volumes. Note If the assembly parts are allocated by Assembly Planning, this check box is not selected. If the Calculate Assembly Part Requirements (tiapl2221m000) session is run, the allocation status displayed by the current check box is first updated from Assembly Control, for all companies in the selection range of that session. If all assembly parts for a product variant are allocated, in other words, if all the Assembly Parts Allocated check boxes in the current session are selected for a product variant, the Assembly Parts Allocated check box in the details of the Product Variants (tiapl3500m000) session is selected. Frozen If this check box is selected, all line station orders (LSOs) for the specified order, and on the specified assembly line are frozen. Note Each company has its own assembly order. However, if several assembly lines exist in the same company, one assembly order covers them all. In this case, the LSOs on one assembly line can be all frozen, while on another line they are not frozen, or only some are frozen. |
