| # Refresh and Freeze Assembly Orders (tiapl3203m000) Use this session to update assembly orders in Assembly Control for product variants that are present in Assembly Planning. Optionally the session can freeze assembly orders that fall within the freeze time fence. Note You can only start this session if your current company is defined as master company in the Assembly Planning Parameters (tiapl0500m000) session. The differences between the creation and the refresh of assembly orders can be summarized as follows: The planned offline date of the product variant is not evaluated against the assembly order time fence, but against the refresh time fence. The update of an assembly order can be partly, for some segments only. Line station orders (LSOs) that were frozen are not updated. Line station orders that fall in the freeze time fence of the segments can be frozen after the line station orders are updated. Related topics Assembly planning overview Assembly orders Roll-off Line The roll-off line of the product variant. The Assembly Line Structure Status of the roll-off assembly line, which appears in the Assembly Lines (tiasl1530m000) session, must be Actualized. If you select an assembly line by zooming from this field to the related session, only assembly lines can be selected whose Assembly Line Structure Status is Actualized. Roll-off Line The roll-off line of the product variant. The Assembly Line Structure Status of the roll-off assembly line, which appears in the Assembly Lines (tiasl1530m000) session, must be Actualized. If you select an assembly line by zooming from this field to the related session, only assembly lines can be selected whose Assembly Line Structure Status is Actualized. Product Variant The product variant whose assembly orders are refreshed and/or frozen. The following conditions apply to the product variant: The Assembly Status, which appears in the Product Variants (tiapl3500m000) session, is Planned. The To Be Deleted check box, which appears in the details of the Product Variants (tiapl3500m000) session, is cleared. The Planned Offline Date of the product variant, which appears in the Product Variants (tiapl3500m000) session, falls before the refresh time fence of the roll-off line. The refresh time fence is defined for each assembly line in the details of the Assembly Lines (tiasl1530m000) session. If you select a product variant by zooming from this field to the related session, the first two conditions are automatically met.

From Item The range of the generic item or manufactured item codes for which the Default Supply Source is Assembly. Freeze If this check box is selected, the line station orders (LSOs) that make up the assembly order are frozen, which means that changes in the order content are no longer automatically processed for this LSO. LSOs are frozen if the following conditions are met: The line segment start date, which is determined when the assembly order is sequenced, falls within the freeze time fence of the line segment of the LSO. The freeze time fence is defined in the Line Segments (tiasl1540m000) session. The previous segments, that is, the segments closer to the start of the assembly line, are already frozen. The LSO is sequenced. Sequencing is carried out in Assembly Control per assembly order. For each company, one assembly order was created. Note Just before the LSO is frozen, the LSO is updated for the last time, if required. Frozen LSOs can only be changed manually, in Assembly Control. In that case an order-specific line-station variant (LSV) is created to prevent that the changes also affect other LSOs that use the same LSV.
