Configurable Item - Assembly Line (tiapl2500m000)

Use this session to define any one of the following items, for a specific assembly line:

  • Generic item
  • Manufactured or Product item for which the Default Supply Source is Assembly

LN requires this information to determine the master company of the 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.

In the Configurable Item - Assembly Line (tiapl2100s000) details session, you can also specify a basic sales price and standard cost.

Field Information

Item

The code of the item of the type Generic, Manufactured or Product for which the Default Supply Source is Assembly.

Note: You cannot delete an item if a p 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.
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.

Warehouse

The warehouse where the end item is stored.
