Assembly Control Parameters (tiasc0100m000)

	Assembly Control Parameters (tiasc0100m000) Use this session to define parameters for Assembly Control. If you double-click an existing parameter set, you can only display the values. If you double-click the actual set and you have the necessary authorizations, you can enter new values. Related topics Assembly control overview Effective Date The date and time that the parameters are valid. The parameters are valid up to the effective date of a more recent parameter setting. Description For a new parameter set, enter a description of the parameters. The default is the description of the previous parameter set. Therefore, to avoid confusion you must always delete this default and add a new text. Transaction Processing Select the level at which you want to process transactions. Transaction processing includes: Process and store financial transactions Allocate assembly parts Backflush hours and material requirements Note If assembly orders are already present, you cannot alter this parameter. Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Transaction processing in ASC. Allowed values Transaction Processing Related topics Assembly Order Costing Assembly backflushing Assembly orders Assembly Parts in As-Built Specify the types of assembly parts are included in the as-built structure. Allowed values Assembly Parts in As Built Create Back Order for Warehousing Transfer Orders If this check box is selected, and insufficient inventory is available to execute the transfer order to the shop floor warehouse, a back order is generated. If this check box is cleared, and insufficient inventory is available to execute the transfer order to the shop floor warehouse, you must manually initiate the transfer of the remaining material quantity when material becomes available. Note The setting of this check box is not relevant for the issue of materials, only for transfer to a shop floor warehouse. Default value Defaulted from the Create Backorders check box in the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session for outbound order lines for transfer orders with order origin ASC Production. Related topics Shop floor warehouses Automatic Update of Line Utilization If this check box is selected, the capacity to which the line is used is updated automatically in case of changes. Related topics Building Utilization Number of days to keep the Line Utilization The period in days the line utilization remains current. Backflushing Labor Type for Backflushing Select the labor type used when backflushing. Assembly Part Allocation Order Status for Material Allocation The status that the assembly order must have before its line-station orders can be selected for material allocation. Allowed values Assembly Order Status Related topics Assembly orders Quantity to Allocate Select the criterion used for the allocation of assembly parts in the Build Assembly Part Allocation (tiasc7240m000) session for assembly orders with the status Frozen. Note Process engineering has no connection with either process industries or process-triggered workflow. This parameter only applies to line-station orders with the status Frozen. For line-station orders with another status, the allocation of assembly parts is based on product engineering. You can see the status in the Assembly Order - Line Station Orders (tiasc2510m000) session. Allowed values Allocation of Assembly Parts Allocation Horizon The number of days assembly parts will remain allocated to the assembly order. Related topics Building Assembly Part Allocation Assembly orders Assembly Order Number Group Select the number group you want to use for assembly orders. The number group must differ from the other number groups you select in this session, and must be a number group dedicated to Assembly Control. Related topics To use number groups and series Assembly orders Series Select the series you want to use for assembly orders. Related topics To use number groups and series Assembly orders Clustered Line Station Order Number Group Select the number group you want to use for clustered line-station orders. This number group must differ from the other number groups you select in this session, and must be a number group dedicated to Assembly Control. This field is used for both order-based processing and for line-station based processing. Therefore, you must enter a value in this field. Related topics To use number groups and series Assembly orders Clustered Line Station Order Series Select the series you want to use for clustered line-station orders. This field is used for both order-based processing and for line-station-based processing. Therefore you must enter a value in this field. For order-based processing, this field is used to generate the warehousing order number value for allocations. For line-station-based processing, the clustered line station order number is generated on the basis of the Clustered Line Station Order Number Group field and the Clustered Line Station Order Series field. The warehouse order value is the same as the clustered line station order value. Related topics To use number groups and series Assembly orders Line Station Variant Number Group Select the number group you want to use for line-station variants. This number group must differ from the other number groups you select in this session, and must be a number group dedicated to Assembly Control. Related topics To use number groups and series Assembly orders Line station variants and line station orders Series Select the series you want to use for line-station variants. If the Transaction Processing parameter is Line Station Based, you must enter a value in this field. Related topics To use number groups and series Assembly orders Line station variants and line station orders Reference Number Number Group Select the reference number for the number group. Related topics To use number groups and series Series Select the series the reference numbers are part of.
