Disassemble Material#

Material.Disassemble

Overview#

This operation is used to disassemble a a previously assembled Material by returning the consumed quantity to other source Materials, according to a pre-defined Bill-Of-Materials (BOM).

Setup#

No special setup is required other than to meet the preconditions of the transaction.

Preconditions#

• Assembled Material exists and it is Active.
• Assembled Material is not On Hold and not In Transit.
• Assembled Material does not have Sub-Products.
• There is a Current BOM Version defined for the Top Most of Assembled Material.
• Assembled Material quantity is greater than zero.
• The Disassembled material quantity must be greater than zero and less or equal to the assembled quantity of the Material.
• If Material is Top Most, then it must be In Process (that is, it needs to be performed after Track-In and before Track-Out).
• If Material is Sub-Material, its Top Most Material must be In Process.
• Source Materials exist, are Active, Queued or Consumable, are not In Store, and not On Hold.
• Source Materials must not include the Material being Assembled.
• Source Materials must not have any open defects (Open Defect Count is zero).
• Source Materials Floor Life must still be valid: Either Floor Remaining Life is null OR (Floor Life Remaining Life > 0 AND Floor Life Counter State = Stopped) OR (Floor Life Counter State = Running AND [Floor Life Remaining Hours - (Now() - Floor Life Open Date) in Hours > 0])
• For Top Most of Source Materials:
  • the PickListItemCount must be null
  • the IsInTransferOrderItem must be null
  • the MaterialProductInventoryLocked must be false
  • the IsApproved must be different from false (could be null)
• Source Materials must be in the same Facility of the Assembled Material.
• BOM must exist and be Active or Effective.
• If the Assembly Type is Explicit, Explicit Add, or Replace And Disassemble:
  • Material Quantity is greater than zero (it has been previously assembled).
  • The Disassembled Material Quantity must be greater than zero and less or equal to the Assembled Quantity of the Material.
• If Assembly Type is Explicit Long Running, there must be at least one BOM Instance Item with the ActualQuantity = 0 and RequiredQuantity = 0, or ActualQuantity > 0 and RequiredQuantity > 0.

Sequence of Steps#

Step 1: Disassembly#

1. Verify the Material and BOM information and select Disassemble.
2. Specify the quantity of Material to disassemble and select Next. Note that the Material primary quantity will be reduced accordingly and that required quantities will be automatically calculated based on the BOM definition.

Step 2: BOM#

1. Product BOM details will be displayed:

   • the source Product;
   • the Product description, location and position;
   • the quantity to disassemble along with the tolerance range, if defined for the BOM Item.

   Note

   The tolerance range is applied to the total quantity consumed across all source Materials (including substitutes) and not individually per material.

2. Source Products which are not references require that further details be specified in this step. Verify and complete these details by entering:

   • the source Product (or substitute).

   Warning

   It is not possible to change the BOM Product revision.

   • the source Material and the disassembled quantity (in case they are not already being displayed).
   • a Material or list of Materials can be selected, however, if the BOM Product Quantity is negative, only one Material can be specified. For each selected Material, enter:
     • Respective returned quantities.
     • Loss quantities and loss reasons, if the BOM Product Quantity is positive.
   • a comment for each target Material (optional).

   Note

   The Disassemble Material operation does not support Information Capture Required; therefore, no Information Value is required.

3. Select Finish to disassemble the Material.
