Building Assembly Part AllocationThe following four points are covered in this Help topic:
Allocation Mode Allocation of assembly parts can be carried out in one of two modes, which are defined in the Transaction Processing field of the Assembly Control Parameters (tiasc0100m000) session:
Existing assembly orders are taken into account when orders are generated, and when material requirements are recalculated. How to determine to which shop-floor warehouse the parts are
allocated You link a shop-floor warehouse to a line station in the Shop Floor Warehouse field of the Work Centers (tirou0101m000) session. You can only link a shop floor warehouse to a line station if the following conditions are met:
Time Buckets The size and number of buckets are determined by two factors:
Note You must define buckets for the entire Allocation Horizon. If you have an order that only partly falls in the time fence, allocation is not planned in Assembly Control. Allocation of assembly parts In the case of Line Station Based transaction processing, allocation is performed per bucket, per line station. All the requirements by bucket and line station can be combined. This results in fewer transactions than would occur if every order were processed separately. The cumulative allocated assembly part requirements are logged in a clustered line station order (CLSO). The CLSO is communicated to Warehousing. You can view the cumulative allocated assembly part requirements in the Clustered Line Station Order - Assembly Part Requirements (tiasc7140m000) session.
