Build Tracked Structures

Explanation

This activity is used to create a system-generated, proposed structure for a serial or lot-tracked part being manufactured or assembled.

A finished part or subassembly is produced and the part is ready to be received into inventory. However, first the serial numbers must be reserved for the components and the parent parts. The serial structure for the parent part also must be built.

Note: If the inventory part has the structure affectivity set to Serial, only numeric values can be reserved as serial numbers. You cannot reserve serial numbers that already exist in Part Serial or are reserved on another order.

Prerequisites

This activity requires that: 

  1. The part being manufactured or assembled must be defined as an inventory serial or lot tracked part.
  2. Serial or lot batch numbers must have been reserved to the shop order.
  3. Material must have been issued or reserved to the shop order.
  4. In the manufacturing flow, as-built structures can only be built for standard manufacturing shop orders. In the Complex Assembly MRO flow, as built structures can only be built for assembly shop orders.
  5. In Part Catalog, the Multi-Level Tracking check box must be selected.

System Effects

As a result of this activity an as-built structure is created for future tracking. This as-built structure can contain any combination of serial-tracked, lot-tracked and non-tracked components connected to the tracked parent. But any of the components marked as Exclude from As-Built structure will not be included. The user can subsequently modify this system-generated as-built structure using the Shop Order As Built Structure window.
