Serial End Item - As-Built Headers (timfc0110m000)

	Serial End Item - As-Built Headers (timfc0110m000) Use this session to maintain and display the serialized end items built in the Assembly Control (ASC) module or the Shop Floor Control (SFC) module. For every individual serialized item of an assembly order or a production order a line is present in this session. For example, for an ordered quantity of six items, six lines are present in this session, each line having a serial number that is a unique identification of a single physical item. An example of a serial number is the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of a car. If you select an item in this session, and you click As-Built Components from the appropriate menu, the serialized components of each serialized end item are displayed in the Serial End Item - As-Built Components (timfc0111m000) session. The serialized end item and its serialized components form together the as-built structure, which enables you to track order data, and to investigate which components are in each individual end item. Shop Floor Control (SFC) The moment you can display the as-built structure of a serialized item produced in Shop Floor Control depends on the Serial Generation Moment field in the Shop Floor Control Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session. At various moments, you can enable LN to generate serial numbers based on a mask. If the mask is not present, you must insert serial numbers manually. Assembly Control (ASC) Serial numbers can be generated when you have confirmed the line sequence in Assembly Control. You can then display the as-built structure of the item. Note You can only delete an as-built serial item if the serial status is Created. Related topics Overview of serialized items Serialized items in Manufacturing To define a mask Production / Assembly Order The production order or the assembly order for which the serialized item is produced. Item The parent item for which the serialized item is derived. Item Type A classification of items used to identify if the item is, for example, a purchased item, a manufactured item, or an equipment item. Depending on the item's type, certain functions will only apply to that item. Allowed values Item Type (a.k.a. kind of item) Quantity Ordered The order quantity to be produced. The estimates of materials and hours are based on this quantity. If no routing or date has been entered yet, the calendar is based on the default routing and 100% utilization. If you are using production order distribution when you alter the value of the current field, the value of the Quantity Ordered field in the Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000) session for each of the effectivity units will be altered so that their total is the same as the value of the current field, and the quantity is evenly distributed between each of the effectivity units. When a distribution is present the quantity ordered is controlled by the sum of the quantity ordered for the distribution lines. Related topics Order quantity dependent routings Overview of unit effectivity Specify material to be issued Serial Number The unique identification of a single physical item. LN uses a mask to generate the serial number. The serial number can consist of multiple data segments that represent, for example, a date, model and color information, sequence number, and so on. Serial numbers can be generated for items and for tools. Lot Code A number of items produced and stored together that are identified by a (lot) code. Lots identify goods. Item Effectivity Unit The item's effectivity unit. Note When project pegging is implemented, only zero or one effectivity unit is allowed on the distribution lines of one production order. Serial Status The status of the end item's serial number. Allowed values Serial Number Status Related topics Working with serialized items in Manufacturing Valid If this check box is selected, the as-built structure is complete. An as-built structure is complete when serial numbers are present for serialized components, and lot numbers for lot-controlled (serialized) items. LN automatically checks the completeness of the as-built structure when the serial status changes (manually or automatically) from Created or Rejected to Assigned. If an as-built structure is not valid, you cannot copy the as-built structure to an as-maintained structure in the Create Physical Breakdown Structure (tscfg2210m000) session. Furthermore, if the Check as-built serials field in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session is Warn or Block, the item cannot be shipped. Related topics Working with serialized items in Manufacturing Rework Order If rework exists for the serialized item, this field displays the rework order number. Related topics Rework orders As-Built Components LN starts the Serial End Item - As-Built Components (timfc0111m000) session. In this session you can display the components of the serialized item. Generate Serial Numbers If you click this button, LN generates serial numbers for the items produced for the assembly order. Validate Click to check whether the as-built structure is complete. An as-built structure is complete when serial numbers are present for serialized components, and lot numbers for lot-controlled (serialized) items. An as-built structure is incomplete when serial numbers and/or lot numbers are missing. View Tree Start the graphical browser framework to see the as-build tree for the selected serialized item. Put status to 'Assigned' Change the status of the serial number to assigned. Physical Breakdown View the breakdown for the physical components of the serialized item.
