Configurable Item - Assembly Line (tiapl2100s000)

Use this session to define which items can be produced on which assembly lines.

LN requires this information to determine the master company of the generic item. Several processes can only run in the master company. For example, if you enter a sales order, LN creates a product variant in the master company.

You can also specify a basic sales price and standard cost.

 

Item

The ID of the generic item.

The item must have the following characteristics:

  • The item type must be Generic, Manufactured or Product for which the Default Supply Source is Assembly.
  • The item must be Serialized.
  • The item must have item ordering data.
  • The item ordering system must be FAS.

These characteristics are defined in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session and the Item - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) session.

Note

You cannot delete an item if a product variant exists in which this item occurs. To delete the item, you must first purge the product variants with the Purge Product Variants (tiapl3200m000) session.

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.

Assembly Line

The code of the assembly line on which the generic item must be assembled.

Note
  • The assembly line must be an actualized roll-off line. Therefore, only the roll-off line must be specified, and not the feeding assembly lines.
  • The assembly line cannot be changed if a product variant exists for the generic item. To change the assembly line, you must first purge the product variants with the Purge Product Variants (tiapl3200m000) session.
  • The assembly line cannot be used for another item with a different master company, because this would imply divergent lines, which is not permitted.
Master Company

The company that contains the master data, such as product variants, BOMs, and so on.

The master company can be one of the companies of the assembly lines, or a separate company.

If your current company is defined as master company in the Assembly Planning Parameters (tiapl0100s000) session, the company number is automatically inserted when you create a new record, and cannot be changed. If your current company is not a master company, you must specify the master company of the generic item in question yourself.

Sales Price

The basic sales price of the configured item.

This price is used as the default sales price on the product variant, and on the sales order.

Sales Price Currency

The currency in which the sales price is expressed.

Warehouse

The warehouse where the end item is stored.
