Assembly Orders

To support companies that supply products to their customers by combining components in simple processes without the need for manufacturing functionality,

Business Central includes features to assemble items that integrate with existing features, such as sales, planning, reservations, and warehousing.

An assembly item is defined as a sellable item that contains an assembly BOM.

Assembly orders are internal orders, just like production orders, that are used to manage the assembly process and to connect the sales requirements with the involved warehouse activities.

• Assembly orders differ from other order types because 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.

Mobile: Assembly Orders

You typically use Assemble to Stock for items that you want to assemble ahead of sales, such as to prepare for a kit campaign, and keep in stock until they are ordered. These items are usually standard items such as packaged kits that you do not offer to customize to customer requests.

In the assemble-to-stock process, the item is assembled without an immediate sales demand and is stocked in the warehouse as an inventory item for later sale or consumption as a subassembly.

From this point, the item is picked and processed as a single item and is treated like a finished production item.

This list of assembly orders is the entry point for working with Assemble to Stock in Mobile WMS.

• Only assembly orders with status Released and Starting Date and Location within the filters, are displayed on the mobile device

• The assembly orders will stay on the list until they are fully posted or deleted in Business Central

Mobile: Assembly Order filters

From the filter icon in the top right-hand corner, you can filter which assembly orders are displayed:

The purpose of the filter is to limit the number of orders sent out to the mobile device. In the standard configuration, the user can filter on:

Open

• Location
  The user can select a specific location or select All to see all locations. The default location is the first entry in the list.
  Note: The locations available to the user, correspond to the locations the user has been set up to use on the warehouse employee page in Business Central.

• Starting Date
  Planned starting date for the assembly order. All orders before or equal to this date are included
  
  

• Assigned User ID
  Here the user can choose

  • All - to see everything

  • Only my orders - to see only orders assigned to them

  • Mine & Unassigned - default

    Note: Partners can add/remove filters on this screen by using the Extension API. An example of this could be to add a filter for a reference number/order number.
    The filter can be opened at any time, on the order list screen, by clicking the filter icon in the top right corner.
     

When the user clicks the <Apply> button the mobile device will show the list of available orders. 

Tip: You can easily select an assembly order by scanning an assembly order number or Item No. (the "output item").
