An assembly point is an operation where production operators put together components to create an assembly. The Assembly Point activity allows you to record assembly data for each component that went into an assembly.

When you use manual/discrete component traceability, you can track information about the components that operators assemble onto parent SFC numbers.

The Assembly Point activity validates the location, reservation, and time-sensitive key attributes before the material can be consumed by an SFC number (see Material).

It supports the consumption of serialized or non-serialized components.

Process

  1. In Activity Maintenance, you define the assembly mode, whether a component can be skipped during assembly sequence mode, and whether a component must be assembled at the assembly operation in the BOM (see Assembly Point).

  2. In Routing Maintenance, you assign your assembly operations to the desired routings.

  3. In Data Type Maintenance, you define the data to be collected when material is assembled (see Assembly Data Type). You can also attach a validation activity.

  4. In Material Maintenance, you assign the data type to be collected on assembly.

  5. In BOM Maintenance, you define a master BOM for the assembly and assign the material and quantity to be assembled at an assembly operation.
