You can create item assembly structures that are lists
of parts and subassemblies. A structure is needed to build an item
or to define the requirements for a location. Use item assembly structures
on rotating items and on items in a kit. You can apply item assembly
structures as a template when creating rotating asset records and
location records.
About this task
When you create an item assembly structure for an item, the
following rules apply:
- If the parent item is a rotating item, add either rotating or
non-rotating items to the item assembly structure.
- If the parent item is a non-rotating item, add other non-rotating
items only to the item assembly structure. Rotating items cannot be
added to the item assembly structure if the parent item is not a rotating
item.
- If a rotating item is applied to an item assembly structure, any
child rotating items become part of the parent rotating item and do
not have their own inventory balance.
- If the item assembly structure is for an item kit, do not include
rotating items or condition-enabled items.
Procedure
- From the List tab of the Item Master
application, display the item record for which you want to create
an item assembly structure.
- From the Item Assembly Structure tab,
click New Row to open the Children window.
- In the Item field, specify a value.
- Optional: Change the number in the Quantity field.
- Optional: Type remarks for this item in the Remarks field.
- Optional: Click New Row to
add another item.
- Click Save Item to associate the
item assembly structure with the item record.
What to do next
By using the
Move To action to change
the
Current Level item, you can also traverse
up and down the hierarchy, viewing item assembly structures that are
nested within other item assembly structures. The
Children window
shows the item assembly structure of the item listed as the current
item. The
Move To action does not work unless
an item has an item assembly structure associated with it.
