Product Variant Structures (tiapl3510m000)

Use this session to view and maintain product variant structures.

Field Information

Product Variant

The code of the product variant for which the product variant structure is displayed.

Main Item

The ID of the item that can be the end item, or an item between the end item and the engineering modules.

The item must:

  • Be of the type Manufactured, Product or Product with the order system FAS.
  • Be Serialized
  • Have ordering data

These characteristics are defined in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session and the Items - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) session.

Assembly Line

The assembly line that manufactures the product variant.

For more information, refer to

  • Linking a supply line to multiple parent lines (Divergent assembly line structure)
  • Assembly line selection— Configuration Dependent parameter
  • Synchronizing a supply line with mutiple parent lines
  • Transportation time for linked assembly lines
Position Number

The component's position number that identifies the combination of the main item and the sub item.

By default, LN shows the last position number used, plus 10. This procedure provides the sequence 10, 20, 30, and so on. The numbering of positions is unrestricted. It is recommended to use the default values so that you can use intermediate numbers to insert components.

Item

The assembly component, engineering module or standard part directly below the level of the displayed main item in the product variant structure.

Item Type

The item type of the component. The item type can be Product, Generic or Configuration Module.

Line Segment Location

The physical location of the line segment.

For more information, refer to

  • Linking a supply line to multiple parent lines (Divergent assembly line structure)
  • Assembly line selection— Configuration Dependent parameter
  • Synchronizing a supply line with mutiple parent lines
  • Transportation time for linked assembly lines
Line Station Location

The physical location of the line station.

For more information, refer to

  • Linking a supply line to multiple parent lines (Divergent assembly line structure)
  • Assembly line selection— Configuration Dependent parameter
  • Synchronizing a supply line with mutiple parent lines
  • Transportation time for linked assembly lines
Use Up Item
The ID of the item that can replace the item specified in the item field when assembly part requirements are calculated in the Calculate Assembly Part Requirements (tiapl2221m000) session, as long as the use up material is in stock.
Note: This field is enabled only if the item specified is a standard item. Such as: standard, non-configurable, assembly parts.
