Assembly Order

The Dime.Scheduler FastTrack solution for Assembly Order planning lets you schedule the resources that build an assembly order and keep the order's dates in sync. Its key features are:

• Assign multiple resources on different dates and times to a single assembly order.

• Planning resources on an assembly order in Dime.Scheduler creates or updates the resource lines on that order.

• When resources are assigned, the starting, ending and due dates can be updated from the first and last planned task. For an assemble-to-order, the shipment date on the linked sales order line is updated to match.

• Create resource lines on the assembly order in NAV before sending it to Dime.Scheduler, and those lines become planned tasks in Dime.Scheduler so you can pre-assign resources.

Configuring assembly orders

• Select "Enable Assembly Order planning" to turn on the FastTrack solution.

• A planned task in Dime.Scheduler defaults to 1 hour when you drag and drop a task from open tasks onto a resource on the planning board. To use a different default, enter it in the "Default Duration Assembly Ord." field.

• Select "Update Dates" to update the starting, ending and due date on the assembly header from the first and last date of planned tasks in Dime.Scheduler. When "Update Dates" is selected and the assembly order is linked to a sales order (assemble-to-order), the shipment date on the corresponding sales line is updated too.

• Select "Send Resources with Order" to turn resource lines created on the assembly order in NAV into planned tasks in Dime.Scheduler when you send the order over.
