Order Controlled/SILS setup, assembly kits, and order generationThe order controlled/SILS supply system is applicable if:
Setup To enable supply of a shop floor warehouse using the Order Controlled/SILS supply system, you must define the following master data in the Warehouse - Item (whwmd2110s000) session:
Note You can only select the Order Controlled/SILS supply system if the warehouse is of the Shop Floor type. Assembly kits If you use Order Controlled/SILS, kitting is needed to make it obvious for the people or machine at the line station which group of supplied items belong together and are intended for one assembly order. Since the contents (items) of such a kit depend on the specific assembly order, it is not possible to define a kit with a (fixed) list of specific items. Therefore, the kit must be specified the other way around. Not all items that are linked to the kit are delivered to the assembly line, but only the items that are required for the assembly order. For example, three items can be all supplied via the same kit to a same shop floor warehouse, but a specific assembly order only requires two of the three items. Only the two required items are supplied to the shop floor warehouse. You can specify the assembly kits in the Assembly Kit (whwmd4150s000) session. Order generation In a Order Controlled/SILS supply system, supply orders are generated based on a trigger from the assembly line. In LN, you can specify that the supply of the goods required at a particular line station is started when a specific event happens at another (earlier) line station. A number of fixed assembly line events are defined by LN which can be used to trigger supply orders. You can indicate which supply orders must be triggered if one of those fixed events happens for an earlier line station. If you use Order Controlled/SILS, the quantity to be supplied when a supply order is generated is determined based on the requirements of a specific assembly order. So, for each assembly order one specific supply order is generated.
