      <Paragraph>If the line station order (LSO) has the status <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/asc.lsst#frozen" role="option">Frozen</GUIRef> or <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/asc.lsst#ready.to.start" role="option">Ready to Start</GUIRef>, you can start the assembly order. When the order is started,
		the order is taken out of the buffer and is transferred to the first line
		station. The status of the LSO of the next line station is then <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/asc.lsst#ready.to.start" role="option">Ready to Start</GUIRef>. The start of an assembly order is the completion of the LSO
		that belongs to the buffer. Therefore, the status of the LSO is <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/asc.lsst#completed" role="option">Completed</GUIRef> at the point when the status of the LSO on the
		line station immediately after the buffer is <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/asc.lsst#ready.to.start" role="option">Ready to Start</GUIRef>. Both the start and completion of an assembly order can be
		intitiated from the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/asl/tiasl6510m000" role="session">Line Station - Assembly Orders (tiasl6510m000)</GUIRef> session
		or the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/asl/tiasl6520m000" role="session">Buffer - Assembly Orders (tiasl6520m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>You can choose to either complete <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000311" role="glossary">line station orders</Link> individually by assembly line, or complete multiple line station
		orders at once across multiple assembly lines; you can do the latter only if
		the assembly lines are located in the same logistic company.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>You can report a line station order completed for each line
		station, the advantage is that this will ensure correct <Emphasis>actual time
		spent</Emphasis> reporting. The disadvantage of reporting a line station order
		completed for each line station is that the task can be time consuming.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>If you complete <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000311" role="glossary">line station orders</Link> individually, you must start with the buffer of the first line
		segment of the assembly line. To do this, use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/asl/tiasl6520m000" role="session">Buffer - Assembly Orders (tiasl6520m000)</GUIRef> session. After completion of the line station
		order on the buffer, you must continue to the line station following the
		buffer. To do this, use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/asl/tiasl6510m000" role="session">Line Station - Assembly Orders (tiasl6510m000)</GUIRef> session. At this line station, you
		complete the line station order and continue to the next station, which is
		either a buffer or a line station, and report it as complete. Follow this
		procedure until you have completed all subsequent buffers and line stations on
		the assembly line.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>To complete multiple line-station orders simultaneously, you can
		select a line station order closer to the end of the assembly line and report
		it as complete. In this case, all previous line station orders on the assembly
		line and linked supplying lines are completed automatically.The advantage of
		this approach is that it saves time on individual line stations by reporting
		each line station order complete. The disadvantage of this approach is that on
		all line stations, the line station order will be reported as completed by
		setting the planned end time as the actual end time, which might not always
		reflect the <Emphasis>actual time spent</Emphasis> on the line station. You can
		also use bar-coding to complete the line-station order.</Paragraph>
