Assembly ordersAssembly orders are created for product variants whose planned offline date falls in the assembly order time fence of the roll-off line. The assembly orders are created by Assembly Planning, but are stored and executed in Assembly Control. In a multicompany situation, assembly orders are created for each company. Assembly orders can only be created for assembly lines that are actualized, which means that the lines are released for use in the production process. Assembly order statuses An assembly order can have one of the following statuses:
Assembly order progress
Before you can carry out the assembly order, you must allocate assembly parts. See the Help of the Build Assembly Part Allocation (tiasc7240m000) session for more details. You can swap orders after they have been started, as long as they still have exchangable configurations. Use the Exchange Configurations (tiasl4240m000) session. To be Completed: If the order is reported completed, LN sets the assembly order to To be Completed status. Completed: As soon as Warehouse Management finishes the inbound procedure for produced items that must be delivered into inventory, the assembly order will get the Completed status. When line-station orders are reported complete, you can Assembly backflushing their hours and materials. Closed: You can close assembly orders with the Close Assembly Orders (tiasc7210m000) session (from the Assembly Line - Line Mix (tiasc2501m000) appropriate menu). When you close the assembly order, LN creates the financial transactions for that assembly order. If that is impossible, LN produces error messages. The WIP transfer bookings are recorded in the calculation office of the assembly order. Serialized items in assembly control The as-built structure for assembly lines is generated when you have confirmed the line sequence. If you are using serialized items (that is, the Serialized check box is selected in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session), the serial numbers (for example the VIN of a car) are generated at this stage. The following actions you perform on assembly orders, affect the status of the as-built structure (that is, the serial numbers) of the serialized items of the assembly order:
