Register Consumption and Output for Assembly Order

...

It is important to understand that assembly differ differs from other function in thatbecause they involve both output and consumption when posting.

The assembly order header behaves similarly to an output journal line, and the assembly order lines behave similarly to consumption journal lines.

That functions, in that it displays both Output- and Consumption- lines together.


This is why the Assembly Order Lines page shows:

  • The first line is the Output Item (The "Assembly Header") is the first line.The
  • Indented lines are Consumption Lines ("Assembly Lines) as indented lines (different to "Production")")

Mobile vs. Assembly in Business Central web client

  • Assembly order header behaves like an "Output journal line"
  • Assembly order lines behave like "Consumption journal lines"


Consumption lines that are excluded:

  • Text lines
  • Resource Lines are also excluded, but posted automatically based on the "Qty. to Assemble."

...

The layout of the Assembly Order Lines page will be slightly different, whether the Location is set up for "Bin Mandatory" or not:

Registering bins

The user must register the bin the items are placed in:

If a bin is suggested by Business Central the user must validate that the items are placed in the correct bin.

  • This is typically done by scanning the barcode on the shelf. If the barcode is not available, the user can press the barcode symbol and enter the value manually.


Changing bins

In the standard setup, the user is allowed to choose another bin.

  • In this scenario, a warning is displayed, but the user can override it and register the new bin anyway
  • It is also possible to block using another bin or allow it without showing a warning
  • If Business Central does not suggest a bin is not suggested by Business Central then the user can enter any value


Note: It is not possible to register more than one bin per posting.

Posting the order

When the order lines have been handled the user activates the "Post" menu item and the registrations are sent to Business Central.

...

  • Picked Qty. (only visible when Require Pick and Require Ship on Location): The number of components picked from storage and moved into the assembly area. If location is setup for Bin Mandatory, the components must be picked before they can be consumed. This is a separate process (a Warehouse Pick is created from the Assembly Order in the Web Client, then picked like any other Warehouse Pick from the Pick main menu icon in Mobile WMS).

  • Remaining Qty.: (only visible when no Bin Mandatory): For locations not setup for Bin Mandatory, the raw materials can be picked directly from inventory (available stock from item ledger entries). No specific picking to the assembly area is needed prior to consumption.

  • Qty. to consume: (Upper right corner) based : <Registered consumed items, ready to be posted> / <Qty. to consume> (Based on the Qty. to Assemble and the "quantity per" from the BOM.)
