Serial End Item - As-Built Headers (timfc0110m000)

Use this session to maintain and display the serialized end items built in the Assembly Control module or the Job Shop Control (JSC) module.

For every individual serialized item of an assembly order or a production order a line is present in this session. For example, for an ordered quantity of six items, six lines are present in this session, each line having a serial number that is a unique identification of a single physical item. An example of a serial number is the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of a car.

If you select an item in this session, and you click As-Built Components from the appropriate menu, the serialized components of each serialized end item are displayed in the Serial End Item - As-Built Components (timfc0111m000) session. The serialized end item and its serialized components form together the as-built structure, which enables you to track order data, and to investigate which components are in each individual end item.

Shop Floor Control

The moment you can display the as-built structure of a serialized item produced in Job Shop Control depends on the Generate Serial Numbers field in the Production Order Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session. At various moments, you can enable LN to generate serial numbers based on a mask. If the mask is not present, you must insert serial numbers manually.

Assembly Control (ASC)

Serial numbers can be generated when you have confirmed the line sequence in Assembly Control. You can then display the as-built structure of the item.

Note

You can only delete an as-built serial item if the serial status is Created.

 

Order Type

Specify the type of order.

Allowed values

Order Type

Production / Assembly Order

The production, assembly order or production schedule for which the serialized item is produced.

Schedule Position

The position number of the line in the production schedule.

Item

The parent item for which the serialized item is derived.

Item Type

A classification of items used to identify if the item is, for example, a generic item, a service item, or an equipment item. Depending on the item's type, certain functions will only apply to that item.

Revision

A version or revised version of an engineering item (E-item) or a revision-controlled item, that is, an item linked to an E-item. Several revisions of an E-item can exist.

Example

E-item: Mountain bike E-MB01

RevisionDescriptionStatus
A1Draft drawing of bikeNot released
A2Drawing of bikeNot released
A3Parent E-item of bike MB01Released
A4Obsolete bikeCanceled

 

Quantity Ordered

The order quantity to be produced. The estimates of materials and hours are based on this quantity.

If no routing or date has been entered yet, the calendar is based on the default routing and 100% utilization.

If you are using production order distribution when you alter the value of the current field, the value of the Quantity Ordered field in the Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000) session for each of the effectivity units will be altered so that their total is the same as the value of the current field, and the quantity is evenly distributed between each of the effectivity units.

When a distribution is present the quantity ordered is controlled by the sum of the quantity ordered for the distribution lines.

Operation for Rejects

Specify the operation for which serials are Rejected from the production order when you click Set to 'Rejected'.

Serial Number

The unique identification of a single physical item. LN uses a mask to generate the serial number. The serial number can consist of multiple data segments that represent, for example, a date, model and color information, sequence number, and so on.

Serial numbers can be generated for items and for tools.

Lot Code

A number of items produced and stored together that are identified by a (lot) code. Lots identify goods.

Effectivity Unit

A reference number, for example a sales order line or a project deliverable line, that is used to model deviations for a unit effective item.

Serial Status

The status of the end item's serial number.

Allowed values

Serial Number Status

Rejected At Operation

View the number of the operation specified in the Operation for Rejects field at which serials are removed from the production order.

Valid

If this check box is selected, the as-built structure is complete. An as-built structure is complete when serial numbers are present for serialized components, and lot numbers for lot-controlled (serialized) items. LN automatically checks the completeness of the as-built structure when the serial status changes (manually or automatically) from Created or Rejected to Assigned.

If an as-built structure is not valid, you cannot copy the as-built structure to an as-maintained structure in the Create Physical Breakdown Structure (tscfg2210m000) session. Furthermore, if the Check as-built serials field in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session is Warn or Block, the item cannot be shipped.

Rework Order

If a rework order exists for the serialized item, this field displays the rework order number.
