Line Station Variant - Assembly Parts (tiasc2121m000)

Use this session to view the assembly parts allocated to a line station variant (LSV). If the LSO is made order-specific, you can also modify the assembly parts.

Note: 

The number of combinations of an assembly part and use up item defined in the Assembly BOM and Operations (tiapl2120s000) session for each assembly bill of material determines the number of records in the Assembly Part Demand (cprrp0116m000) session and the current session.

If a part exists multiple times the in the assembly BOMs defined with different use up items, the part will appear multiple times in the Assembly Part Demand (cprrp0116m000) and Line Station Variant - Assembly Parts (tiasc2121m000) sessions.

If no use up item is in stock for the selected assemble BOM, this will result in multiple records for the same assembly part, instead of the one record if no use-up material was defined.

Field Information

Line Station Variant

Line-station variant

Line Station

The line station for which the LSV applies.

Shop Floor Warehouse

The shop floor warehouse where the assembly part is stored.

For Order

The production order ID.

Line Station Order Status

If the LSV is order-specific, this field displays the status of the line station order (LSO) that is linked to the LSV.

LSOs can have the following statuses:

  • Planned
  • Frozen
  • Ready to Start
  • Completed
  • Closed
Note: This field is only displayed if the selected LSV is order-specific.

Process

This field is not in use. It is reserved for functionality that is not yet available.

Operation

This operation is linked to the LSV. The assembly part is used in this operation.

Original Operation

If this check box is selected, the operation has not been modified, by making the line-station variant order-specific.

This check box is used to determine the printing result. When originals must be printed, the operations for which this check box is selected are printed. When differences must be printed, the operations for which this check box is cleared are printed.

Position

The unique position number for the assembly part in the line station variant.

Original Assembly Part

If this check box is selected, the assembly part has not been altered.

If this check box is cleared, one of the fields of the assembly part has been changed. You can only do this if the LSV is order-specific.

This box is used to determine the printed result. If originals must be printed, the assembly parts for which this check box is selected are printed. If differences must be printed, the assembly parts for which this check box is cleared are printed.

Assembly Part

The assembly component.

An assembly part is a part that is used in the assembly process. This part is delivered to the assembly line.

Use Up Item

The ID of the item that can replace the item specified in the Assembly Part field when allocations are made for the assembly of the engineering module, as long as the use up material is in stock.

Option Set

The option set linked to the engineering module.

Option List ID

The ID of the specific option list linked to the line station variant.

Engineering Module

An engineering module is a group of standard parts, without routings, assembly lines, options and so on, for a particular system, such as the electrical system or transmission. The engineering module is part of the line station variant.

An engineering module is not separately manufactured, and is used for design and planning purposes only.

You must enter the engineering module here, so that LN can print it on the header of the As Built structure.

Product Engineering Quantity

The quantity of the item, measured according to the unit of measure that is displayed in the Inventory Unit field.

Quantities of assembly parts can be calculated as product engineering quantity or as process engineering quantity. These terms denote two methods of calculating the assembly part requirements, based on two methods of modeling the product in Line Assembly Configuration (LAC). Product engineering represents the end product as a structure of assembly parts, while process engineering represents the product as the outcome of a sequence of operations, which require assembly parts. Although you might expect that the results of both calculations are the same, in practice there can be some difference. This difference is due to the way these two kinds of modeling are actually worked out.

In anticipation of functionality that is not yet available, these terms are here distinguished. But currently only the product engineering quantity is used.

Note: When the Process Engineering Quantity or Product Engineering Quantity is modified, the Build Assembly Part Allocation process is executed automatically.
Inventory Unit

Unit

Inventory Unit

The unit the quantity is measured in.

Assembly Part to be Printed on Instructions

If this check box is selected, the assembly parts are printed when you use the Print Work Instructions (tiasc5450m000) session.

Floor Stock

Floor stock

Fixed Supply Data

Indicates under what conditions it is allowed to update line supply settings.

Refer to the Help on the Update Line Station Variant - Assembly Part Supply Data (tiasc2222m000) session for more information.

Supply System

Four supply systems are available:

  • Order-controlled supply in line sequencing. Assembly items are released for specific assembly orders.
  • Order-controlled batch. Assembly items are released in batches, rather than for specific assembly orders.
  • Kanban. Regulates the batch or container supply of assembly items to job shop warehouses.
  • Time-phased order point. Regulates the time-phased supply of assembly items to job shop warehouses.

If you use the supply in line sequence (SILS) supply system, LN generates warehouse transfers or sequenced shipping schedules to ensure the assembly parts arrive at the job shop warehouse in sequence with the line station orders.

If you use the batch supply system, the assembly parts are supplied as batches of parts. When a line station order (LSO) is completed, usually at a different line station, defined in the Trigger-from Station field of the current session, this triggers a warehouse transfer from the source to the job shop warehouse of the line station that requires the parts. The source can be a warehouse or an external supplier. The next transfer occurs the next time a line station order is completed after the batch has been consumed.

Supply Type

You either obtain the parts from a warehouse in your own company, or buy them from an external supplier.

Supply Code

The code of the main warehouse or supplier who will supply the assembly parts to the shop-floor warehouse. You can enter this code in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session.

Ship-from Business Partner

If the part is obtained from an external supplier, the ship-from business partner is the business partner who ships the part.

Assembly Kit

Parts are delivered as assembly kit when you use supply in line sequence.

The assembly kit in which the assembly part is supplied is defined in the Assembly Kit (whwmd4550m000) session.

Kit Type

The type of assembly kit:

Allowed values

  • Line Station
  • Product
  • Not Applicable
Trigger-from Station

The line station at which an event is defined as trigger for the supply of assembly parts to the job shop warehouse for the current LSV. For example, if the LSO of the current assembly order on the Trigger-from Station is reported complete, this event triggers the sending of supply messages for the parts that are required for the current LSV.
