Product Variant Structures (tiapl3510m000)

	Product Variant Structures (tiapl3510m000) Use this session to view and maintain product variant structures. Related topics Assembly planning overview Product Variant The code of the product variant for which the product variant structure is displayed. Main Item The generic item or manufactured item for which the Default Supply Source is Assembly. This item can be the end item, or a generic item between the end item and the engineering modules. 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 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. Assembly Line The assembly line that manufactures the product variant. For more information, refer to Linking a supply line to multiple parent lines (Divergent assembly line structure) Assembly line selection— Configuration Dependent parameter Synchronizing a supply line with mutiple parent lines Transportation time for linked assembly lines Position Number The component's position number that identifies the combination of the main item and the sub item. By default, LN shows the last position number used, plus 10. This procedure provides the sequence 10, 20, 30, and so on. The numbering of positions is unrestricted. It is recommended to use the default values so that you can use intermediate numbers to insert components. Sub Item The generic item or engineering module that is directly below the level of the displayed main item in the product variant structure. Item Type The item type of the sub item. The item type is either Generic or Engineering Module. Option Set Identifies a set with product features and options for a configurable item within the product structure.

The following data is collected during a routing operation: The task. For example, sawing. The machine used to carry out the task (optional). For example, sawing machine. The place where the task is carried out (work center). For example, woodwork. The number of employees required to carry out the task. This data is used to compute order lead times, to plan production orders and to calculate cost prices.

This quantity is referred to as the net quantity because in practice you may need more than this quantity to make up for certain losses of the material or the product.
