operation before they are kitted. Can CELLS allow me to track subassemblies by themselves?
Units’s from machined parts (which need only be inspected). This makes my NEXT_STEP table confusing, because a Top Assembly doesn’t exist as a serialized item until KITTING, when the pieces are placed in a bin and a top-level serial number is assigned arbitrarily. Note that incoming inspections are not at the “end item” level. A. yes, subassemblies are by (our) definition serialized and trackable assemblies in their own right. They are completely separate from the mother assembly until they are associated via the Add Subassembly (or Data Entry) dialog. From that point on, they are tracked together. The sub-assemblies can/should even have their own process flow, seperate from the main assembly. In fact, a sub-assembly MUST have progressed to “$DONE” before it is eligible to be added to another assembly, however if you add a sub-assembly that has not been run though a process in CELLS then you can use a simple data entry to collect the sub-assembly serial number, etc. Q.
