Executing WIP Transfer

Start Manufacturing > Assembly Control > Stations > Line Station - Assembly Orders (tiasl6510m000).

When you execute WIP Transfer, LN transfers the value of the work in process between line stations on two different assembly lines.

To carry out the WIP transfer, complete the steps below.

  1. Go to the last line station of your supplying assembly line.

  2. Select the line station order related to your assembly order. Click WIP Transfer on the appropriate menu. Carry out the following appropriate > WIP Transfer commands in the correct sequence:

    1. WIP Transfer Generate: On the last line station of the line segment on the supplying line.
    2. WIP Transfer Issue
    3. WIP Transfer Receive
Note: 

  • If the WIP Transfer Handling parameter is set to Automatic, for our assembly lines (see Assembly Lines (tiasl1530m000)) you can carry out the WIP Transfer Issue and WIP Transfer Receive from Assembly Control.

  • There is no batch session to handle all WIP transfers for your assembly orders. To avoid carrying out these WIP transfer steps for all assembly orders individually, we recommend that you model process triggers within the Assembly Control module. Use triggers to model a process trigger which automatically carries out these WIP transfers ( WIP Transfer Generate, WIP Transfer Issue, and WIP Transfer Receive) based on a defined event.

    For more information, refer to Process Trigger Definition (tiasl8100m000).
