The allocation of assembly parts is based on product engineering. Allocation using product engineering is a fast but approximate material requirements calculation method. The number of assembly parts for each engineering module is calculated using demand from real sales orders and hypothetical 'pseudo orders'. 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. An engineering module is not actually manufactured and is for design and planning purposes only.

The allocation of assembly parts is based on process engineering. LN calculates the requirement for assembly parts using all the relevant data for the assembly line, including option combinations, product structures, and so on.

Whichever is larger of Process Engineering Quantity and Product Engineering Quantity is used for assembly part allocation. Using the maximum quantity enables you to compensate for possible errors in the calculation based on either of the previously mentioned processes.

The assembly parts used for the as built item are serialized.

The assembly parts used for the as built item are either lot controlled or serialized.

The initial status of the assembly order. Changes to the production order data are possible. Materials have not been issued, can be added, and have their quantities adjusted.

The order is reported as completed. When Warehousing finished the inbound procedure for the end items, the assembly receives the status completed.

The assembly order has been transferred to the assembly line and is ready for manufacture.

Assembly order is being manufactured.

The order is reported completed and all the end items were delivered to inventory.

The financial results of the production order are calculated. Before an assembly order is closed, all materials were issued and hours accounted for. After an order is closed, materials can no longer be issued nor hours accounted.

Select parameter for high-volume environments.

The data for line-station orders is added together, for each line station, to form one clustered line-station order (CLSO) for each day. Processing is carried out at an aggregated (line station) level. You will receive production results for each period when you use line-station-based transaction processing.

Select for low-volume environments.

Calculating for each assembly order provides more detailed information, but also creates more data. This can lead to performance problems if you have many assembly orders. One CLSO is created for each assembly order in each day. Processing is carried out for each individual assembly order. You will receive production results for each order when you use order-based transaction processing.

You can view CLSOs in the Clustered Line Station Orders (tiasc7530m000) and Clustered Line Station Order - Assembly Part Requirements (tiasc7140m000) sessions.
