Disassembly
Use the Disassembly function to disassemble a parent product, based on a sales or manufacturing BOM, so that all of its components become available in stock.
You can either disassemble a parent product directly from the stock, or disassemble a parent product that has previously been subject to an assembly: first pick the source assembly note from the selection panel, and then perform the disassembly.
Prerequisite
Refer to documentation Implementation
Screen management
Header
When launching the Disassembly function, you must choose a transaction among those set up.
Depending on the setup of the selected transaction, you can assign a movement code and/or a project code to the disassembly note.
Disassembly by direct entry of a parent product
In the first table, you can enter the parent product to be disassembled. It must be noted that the disassembly function only allows for one parent product to be disassembled for each note.
Click the Selection icon to pick this component (product and BOM code) from the list of products at the top of the BOM. The BOM code is then automatically loaded.
You can enter the stock information required for the issue of the parent product: as for any other issue, this information is used as a filter when searching for the stock lines to be issued.
The selection of the stock lines to be issued is based on the allocation rule for internal movements, and on the management rule for miscellaneous issues. These rules are described in the Product category of the parent product.
You can also select the stock lines to be issued manually by clicking Stock issues from the Actions menu available on the parent product line: a selection screen opens where you can filter the stock lines to be issued. Please refer to the Stock issues documentation for more information about this screen.
You can modify completed issue movements by clicking Modification of issues from the Actions menu on the parent product line.
Disassembly by picking of an existing assembly
To delete an existing assembly, you can select that assembly and disassemble it.
For this purpose, in disassembly creation, you can select only one existing assembly from the Assembly selection panel.
Following the picking of an assembly, the system automatically loads the parent product table and the components table based on the selected assembly.
You cannot modify the information from the original assembly, in the same way as you cannot change the disassembly of an assembly.
However, you can view the stock detail of the parent product to be issued and components to be received.

Tab Components
Disassembly by direct entry of a parent product
Entering a parent product and a BOM code automatically loads the components table to be received in stock by reading the BOM.
The quantities to be issued for each component are calculated from the quantity to be disassembled and the BOM link quantity for each component. This quantity can be modified.
When creating the assembly note, you can delete a component planned on the BOM, or add unexpected components by directly entering the component table.
The components of the sub-product type are not considered.
If a component is present several times in the BOM, the quantities are not aggregated, rather several receipt lines are generated.
If the BOM contains a phantom component, this component is received into stock if it is stock-managed; it is automatically passed over to be substituted for its own components if it is not stock-managed.
Stock information for the components to be received: the entry is similar to any stock receipt note. The system tries to preload by default the stock information according to the management rule for the miscellaneous entries defined at the level of the product category to which the component belongs. These default values are available for modification.
You can still detail the receipt information by clicking the Action icon and Enter detailed quantities on the parent product line: you can distribute the receipt over several lots, sub-lots or serial numbers, or different locations, statuses, or stock identifiers, if needed, and depending on the parent product management method. For more information on the detailed entry of receipts, see the Stock receipts documentation.
Click the Actions icon to access the Stock by site, Stock by lot and Detailed stock inquiries.
During a disassembly, the dock entries are not provided for.
The receipt movement carried out is a movement of the miscellaneous receipt type.
On the component line, you can change the carried out receipt movements, except for the disassembly of an assembly: click the Actions icon and Receipt modifications.

Container (field TCTRNUM) |
This field is subject to the LPN - License plate no. management activity code. Indicate the container used. It is initialized based on the default container defined for the Product-site and can be modified if the entry in this field is enabled at the entry transaction level. |
License plate number (field LPNNUM) |
Help common to stock entry functions (Miscellaneous receipts, Receipts, Customer returns, etc.) and the Invoices function (in this case, the field is only displayed and editable for a credit memo or a direct invoice). The management of this field depends on the 'Mandatory' or 'Optional' nature of the license plate number, which is defined for the Product category on the Receipt flow section. In both cases, you can select the license plate number to be used. The selection list displays the active license plate numbers (both 'Free' or 'In stock') associated with the entered container. If no container is specified, the selection list displays all active license plate numbers attached to the site and available in stock. These containers are the ones you created previously, either by unit via the License plate number function or by batch via the License plate number creation function. You can also directly access the License plate numbers function in order to create a number and then switch back to entry mode on the document.
- The License plate number is set to 'Mandatory' for the Product category.
Inter-site / inter-company specificities: for an inter-site or inter-company receipt, the license plate number does not correspond to the one specified on the sales delivery, since the LPN is single-site. |

In all cases, the location type can be modified if its entry is enabled at the level of the entry transaction. You may only enter a ‘dock’ type location if the entry transaction authorizes receipts on dock. When warehouses are managed, entry of a location type is only permitted if at least one location is linked to the entered type and warehouse. |
Location (field LOC) |
Depending on the entry transaction setup, the information related to locations is accessible for entry at receipt note line level. The storage location is automatically loaded based on the location type, if it is specified. Otherwise, the location taken into account is the following (in order of priority):
When the warehouses are managed, only a location linked to the specified warehouse can be entered. Additionally, it is possible to enter on the same receipt note line using several different locations. In order to do this, you need to detail the line in the Quantity detail entry window.This window opens automatically if stock information is missing from the line entry. Otherwise, open it by clicking the Actions icon from the note line. |
