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:
- Set the generic item up with an associated standard item.
- Optionally, define a routing for the standard item.
-
In the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) session, create a production order. In the appropriate menu, click and enter the end item's serial number.
In the details session, select the Rework Order check box.
- Define the production order's operations. You can select a routing for the production order or manually add operations to the production order.
- 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.
