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.

 

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.

Assembly Parts in As-Built

Specify the types of assembly parts are included in the as-built structure.

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.

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

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

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.
Allocation Horizon

The number of days assembly parts will remain allocated to the assembly order.

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.

Series

Select the series you want to use for 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.

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.
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.

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.

Reference Number
Number Group

Select the reference number for the number group.

Series

Select the series the reference numbers are part of.
