You can set up the location with a standard bin structure to manage the flow of assembled items from the assembly area to the warehouse. For more information, see the From-Assembly Bin Code field on the location card.

If the assembly order is linked to a sales order, then the value of the Bin Code field is specified with the bin code on the sales order line, which can be defined by the setup of the Asm.-to-Order Shpt. Bin Code field on the location card. For more information, see the Bin Code field on sales order lines.

The Bin Code field on assembly order headers, on the Posting FastTab, specifies where the finished assembly item must be taken from and where the output is posted to.

The Bin Code field on assembly order lines specifies where assembly components are placed with inventory movements or warehouse picks.

Note

On assembly order headers, on the Posting FastTab, the bin cannot be of bin type code SHIP and RECEIVE. This guarantees that assembly output is not accidentally placed in the receipt or shipment area. On assembly order lines, the bin must be of bin type code PUTAWAY, or it cannot have a bin type code. This guarantees that other warehouse activities, such as picking, shipping, or receiving, do not accidentally take components from or place components in the assembly area.

On one sales order line, you can sell a quantity that is available and must be picked from stock together with a quantity that must be assembled to order. Certain rules exist to manage the distribution of such quantities to make sure that assemble-to-order quantities take priority over inventory quantities in partial shipping. For more information, see the “Combination Scenarios” section in Assemble to Order or Assemble to Stock. When an assemble-to-order quantity is ready to be shipped, the warehouse worker in charge posts an inventory pick for the sales order line or lines. This creates an inventory movement for the components and posts the assembly output and the sales order shipment. For more information, see “Handling Assemble-to-Order Items in Inventory Picks” in Inventory Pick.
