Display Assembly Component Allocations

 

Assembly Component Allocations can be displayed in a different color in the assembly grid on the Assembly tab.  An Assembly Component Allocation is a regular job, an assembly job, or a component of an assembly job that feeds into the current assembly.  In the example below, Assembly Component Allocations are to be displayed with a different color background, so jobs PLN-0053 and PLN-0054 are jobs that feed into the selected assembly:

 

 

If an Assembly Component Allocation is selected in the Assembly Grid and the user right-clicks, the following menu appears:

 

 

If Component Allocation is selected, a new window is displayed showing details on the component allocation as in the example below:

 

 

The parent assembly for an Assembly Component Allocation is displayed in bold type face.  This is the assembly that schedules the Assembly Component Allocation.  The parent assembly needs to have a higher priority or the same priority with an earlier due date than all of the assemblies that it feeds.  If not, the scheduler will report on the problem in the schedule log.
