Product Variant Structures (tiapl3510m000)Use this session to view and maintain product variant structures.
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:
These characteristics are defined in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session and the Items - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) session. Assembly Line The assembly line that manufactures the product
variant. 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. 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. Assembly Line Location The physical location of the assembly line. Line Segment Location The physical location of the line segment. Line Station Location The physical location of the line station. Operation One of a series of steps in a routing that are carried out
successively to produce an item. The following data is collected during a routing operation:
This data is used to compute order lead times, to plan production orders and to calculate standard cost. Net Quantity The quantity of a component or material that is theoretically
required to make a certain quantity of a product. 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.
