Post-assembly operations

Sometimes, an assembled item that comes off the assembly line needs additional work. In LN, you can accomplish this by creating a rework order for the item. You can execute additional operation in regular work centers on an item after completion of an assembly order at a later date.

Procedure

To perform additional job shop operations on an item after completion of the assembly order:

  1. Set the generic item up with an associated standard item.
  2. Optionally, define a routing for the standard item.

  3. In the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) session, create a production order. In the appropriate menu, click Serial Numbers and enter the end item's serial number.

    In the details session, select the Rework Order check box.

  4. Define the production order's operations. You can select a routing for the production order or manually add operations to the production order.
  5. Use the Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000) session to define any required materials. To add the materials from another item's bill of material (BOM), on the appropriate menu, click Show Subassembly.
Note: The manufactured item that is the end item of the rework order is also a material for that rework order.
