Reference numbers in production synchronous schedules

Reference numbers are used in conjunction with external supply methods. Therefore, the Reference Number field remains blank in the case of internal supply methods. The functionality of reference numbers replaces that of call-off IDs.

Reference numbers are displayed in the following sessions:

  • Line Station - Assembly Part Supply Transfer (Batch) (tiasc8510m000)
  • Assembly Part Supply Transfer (SILS) (tiasc8520m000)
Order-controlled SILS

In order-controlled supply in line sequencing (SILS), a unique reference number is generated for every unique combination of: line station + VIN number + assembly kit ID. This reference number is sent together with the purchase schedules to the suppliers and is also printed on the advanced shipping notice (ASN) that is sent back from the supplier. The reference number can also be used when receipts are entered.

Example
PARTKITBATCH SIZE
A, BK12
CK22

 

LINE SEQUENCEORDERPART
100A01A, B, C
101A02A
102A03B

 

When creating the part requirements, LN sees that there is enough of part A for orders A01 and A02 because the kit for part A has a batch size of 2. There is also enough of part B for orders A01 and A03. The parts message that LN creates looks like this:

PARTORDERREFERENCE NUMBER
AA01R01
AA02R02
BA01R01
BA03R03
CA01R01

 

Because order A01 consists of parts A, B, and C, these parts (for this order) have the same reference number (R01). Order A02, which consists of part A, has a unique reference number, as does order A03, which consists of part B.

Order-controlled batch

In order-controlled batch, a unique reference number is created for each material line. The reference number is sent along with the purchase schedules to the suppliers and is also printed on the ASN that is sent back from the supplier. The reference number can also be used when receipts are entered.

Example
PARTKITBATCH SIZE
A, BK12
CK22

 

LINE SEQUENCEORDERPART
100A01A, B, C
101A02A
102A03B

 

When LN calculates the requirements for order A01, the parts message that is generated looks like this:

PARTORDERREFERENCE NUMBERBALANCE QTY.
AA01R011
BA01R021
CA01R031

 

When LN calculates the requirements for order A02, the parts message that is generated looks like this:

PARTORDERREFTRANSFER QTY.BALANCE QTY.
AA01R0120
BA01R0221
CA01R0321

 

When LN calculates the requirements for order A03, the parts message that is generated looks like this:

PARTORDERREFTRANSFER QTY.BALANCE QTY.
AA01R0120
BA01R0221
CA01R0321
AA03R0421
