Generic Item - Assembly Line Details

Use this session to define which items can be produced on which assembly lines.

LN requires this information to determine the master company of the generic item. Several processes can only run in the master company. For example, if you enter a sales order, LN creates a product variant in the master company.

You can also specify a basic sales price and cost price.

To make it possible to store the completed end item in inventory, enter the associated standard item in the Standard Item field.

 

Item

The code of the generic item or manufactured item for which the Default Supply Source is Assembly.

The item must have the following characteristics:

  • The item type must be Generic or manufactured for which the Default Supply Source is Assembly.
  • The item must be Serialized.
  • The item must have item 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.

Note

You cannot delete an item if a product variant exists in which this item occurs. To delete the item, you must first purge the product variants with the Purge Product Variants (tiapl3200m000) session.

Assembly Line

The code of the assembly line on which the generic item must be assembled.

Note
  • The assembly line must be an actualized roll-off line. Therefore, only the roll-off line must be specified, and not the feeding assembly lines.
  • The assembly line cannot be changed if a product variant exists for the generic item. To change the assembly line, you must first purge the product variants with the Purge Product Variants (tiapl3200m000) session.
  • The assembly line cannot be used for another item with a different master company, because this would imply divergent lines, which is not permitted.
Master Company

The company that contains the master data, such as product variants, BOMs, and so on.

The master company can be one of the companies of the assembly lines, or a separate company.

If your current company is defined as master company in the Assembly Planning Parameters (tiapl0100s000) session, the company number is automatically inserted when you create a new record, and cannot be changed. If your current company is not a master company, you must specify the master company of the generic item in question yourself.

Sales Price

The basic sales price of the configured item.

This price is used as the default sales price on the product variant, and on the sales order.

Sales Price Currency

The currency in which the sales price is expressed.

Warehouse

The warehouse where the end item is stored.
