Assembly overview


<< Prev   Next >>

Assembly is a process where a company manufactures a product by putting the components together without processing them in any way.

In 1C:Drive, the Assembly process is a part of the Production module that helps you register, monitor, manage, and analyze your production activities.

The module offers the following benefits:

You can also examine an illustrated example of registering an assembly transaction.

1C:Drive offers a variety of documents that you can use to register the assembly process, depending on your needs:

Document Description
Production order Confirms that your company is ready to fulfill an order to assemble a specific quantity of products within a certain time frame.
Replenishment order Registers procurement of components your company requires for assembly.
Depending on a replenishment source, this document can be a purchase order, production order, or subcontracting order issued.
Production document Registers completion of the assembly process, records assembled products and consumed components.

The chart below displays a typical workflow of the assembly process. The process stages and their sequence may vary. You are free to use only the documents that match the stages of your assembly process.

Managing assembly transactions

Registering assembly transactions

To register an assembly transaction, first create a production order. Then, create other assembly documents that reflect the stages of your process.

To learn how to register the entire assembly process, see Assembly process.

To learn how to create and manage assembly documents, see:

You can create assembly documents based on other documents. For example, you can create a production order based on a sales order, or a replenishment order based on a production order. This method is preferable to manual document creation because it:

  • Ensures traceability of documents related to an assembly transaction.
  • Minimizes errors by automatically copying document details from the source document.

All documents you create go to document lists. For posted documents, transaction records are available.

Using document lists

1C:Drive provides a user-friendly interface for managing assembly documents. All documents you create for your assembly transactions are stored in document lists, where you can:

  • Monitor document statuses.
  • View document details.
  • Post documents.
  • Generate related documents.

Tracking transaction records

When you post a document, it generates transaction records. The records generated by assembly documents depend on the accounting and billing settings. For example, if you set billing by contracts, the accounts payable records contain information broken down by contract.

In 1C:Drive, you have several options for tracking assembly transaction records. The options include:

  • Product accounting settings. You can set accounting by:
    • Variants.
    • Batches.
    • Serial numbers.

    To learn more, see the Products catalog.

Applying bills of materials

When you register an assembly transaction, you need to determine which components in which quantities it will require.

Bills of materials are lists of components needed to manufacture a product. For example, a bill of materials for a wheelbarrow includes 1 bucket, 2 wheels, and 2 handles.

With bills of materials, you only specify a finished product, and 1C:Drive automatically determines the quantities of components to procure for its production. This saves effort and ensures document accuracy. Using bills of materials also allows for more precise cost allocation between components.

Allocating consumed components to assembled products

If you register assembly of multiple products with a single production document, you can specify which components were consumed to assemble which product. This affects production cost of the assembled products.

Making product reservations

You can reserve the assembled products for a specific purpose, such as a sales or production order. The reserved products cannot be sold, transferred, or otherwise dispatched for any other purposes.

You can track your reservations using the Available stock and Sales order analysis reports.

Tracking backorders

You can place a replenishment order to restock the components required for assembly. These components go on backorder. 1C:Drive automatically makes reservation for the components ordered this way.

The Backordered items and Sales order analysis reports help you monitor your backorders. So, you can ensure that you comply with the delivery deadlines and fulfill your commitments.

Analyzing assembly transactions

1C:Drive provides a variety of reporting tools for analyzing your assembly transactions. For example, you can easily track the quantities of components available for assembly of a specific product, or the cost of goods assembled.
