| Actualizing Assembly LinesWhen assembly lines are actualized, all assembly processes can
run again. The validate/actualize process checks assembly line model
integrity. For example, the validate/actualize process can check
that: - There are no divergent line structures and segments
present.
- There is correct usage of cost components and calculation
office.
- The definition of the line segment structure. For example, if
it start with a buffer, connected in a chain and so on.
- The definition of the work centers. The supplying line must
feed a line station on the main line.
- The definition of assignments is correct. For example, one or
more active average and non-average assignments must be present.
- There must be no gaps in the assembly lines.
- There must be no loops in the assembly line cycles.
- There must be one enterprise unit present for each assembly line.
Select the assembly line. Click Validate on the appropriate menu. The Validate Assembly Lines (tiasl1230m000) session starts. Note that clicking Validate is not a mandatory step. This step is
automatically performed when you actualize the assembly lines, which is a step
to be completed later on in the process. This intermediate Validate option allows you to check the assembly
line structure. Ensure that main line and supplying line are specified in
the selection range. Click Validate. Check the report. If the process runs
without errors, LN sets
the status of the assembly line structure to Validated for
the main line and supplying lines. Check that your lines have the Validated status. When a line
is created/validated/actualized, lines undergo a change and are set/reset to
the Modified status.
Note You can run this session only in the master company. Replicating to other companies If more than one company exists, and those companies have a
multicompany setup or single company setup with a separate master company, you
must replicate assembly line structures from the master company to the
companies that are defined on the assembly lines in the structure. If the
assembly line status is Modified, the Validate Assembly Lines is carried out
before it is replicated. Errors An error report is printed and the status of the assembly
line(s) is set to Modified if the following occur: - Errors in the assembly line (structure) are detected during the
actualization process.
- The replication fails
