Line Station Variants (tiasc2520m000)

Use this session to view line-station variants (LSVs).

A line-station variant is a device to reduce unnecessary data, and so enhance performance. If you have one thousand orders for products, and the operations and materials at the first line station of the line are all identical, there is no point in storing identical information one thousand times. LN determines that the orders are all identical, and makes one LSV. When a new assembly order is generated, LN checks the materials and operations. If the materials and operations are different from exisiting LSVs, a new LSV is created.

You cannot maintain the data displayed in this session by double-clicking a line. You must select a line, and then choose one of the options of the appropriate menu. Refer to the field help for the sessions you can start from the appropriate menu.

Field Information

Line Station Variant

Line-station variant

Line Station

The line station to which the line-station variant belongs.

Assembly Order

The assembly order linked to the line-station variant. This field is only shown for order-specific LSVs (those LSVs that exist for only one order, so the order content can be manually changed without affecting other orders or other LSVs).
