Post-assembly operations

New in Infor LN FP5

In Infor LN FP3 and earlier versions, finished generic items with order system FAS could only be used on an assembly line. You had to send these items to the customer immediately after the finished item came off the assembly line. In Infor LN FP5, you can perform post-assembly operations in regular work centers after the finished item comes off the assembly line. The post-assembly operations are performed in a production order that is defined as a rework order.

This functionality is implemented by using two item codes for a single physical item:

  • An item of item type Generic for the assembly functionality - this item is called the generic item.
  • An item of item type Manufactured for the warehousing functionality - this item is called the standard item.
