This feature helps reduce manual work by automatically processing draft assembly orders once key BOM items become available. It ensures faster production workflows and keeps inventory aligned with real-time receiving activity.
This feature uses Automation Rules with a Receiving trigger.
How It Works
When a receiving transaction is completed, Luminous:
Evaluates active automation rules with a Receiving trigger
Checks if the received item matches the configured BOM item condition
Identifies eligible draft assembly orders
Allocates available stock
Automatically completes the assembly order (if conditions are met)
How to Set Up the Automation Rule
Step 1: Create a New Automation Rule
Go to Settings
Select Automation
Click + New Rule
Enter a clear rule name (example: Auto Complete Assembly on BOM Receipt)
Step 2: Select the Trigger
Under Trigger Type, select Receiving Event
Save the trigger configuration
Step 3: Add Conditions
Add the condition:
BOM Item Received
Configure the following as needed:
Select specific SKU(s)
Set quantity conditions (if applicable)
Select receiving Location
This ensures the rule only runs when the correct BOM component is received.
Step 4: Add Action
Select:
Complete Assembly Order
This action will:
Find eligible draft assembly orders
Allocate available stock
Complete the assembly workflow
Record an audit trail of the automated action
Step 5: Save and Activate
Click Save
Ensure the rule is set to Active
Example Scenario
Product AB requires:
Component A (10 units)
Component B (5 units)
If Component A is received and sufficient stock of Component B already exists:
The system will automatically complete eligible draft assembly orders based on available stock.
Important Notes
The receiving location of an assembly order is where the order is being assembled.
Assembly orders must be in Draft status to be processed
If there is no Orders in draft status this automation will not run properly.
The rule only runs after the receiving transaction is completed.
Component stock must be sufficient to complete the assembly.
Common Questions
Why didn’t my assembly order complete?
Check the following:
The automation rule is active
The received SKU matches the rule condition
Stock is available for all required BOM components
The receiving location of an assembly order is where the order is being assembled.
The assembly order is still in Draft status
What happens if stock is insufficient?
The assembly order will remain in Draft until enough components are available.
Audit & Tracking
All automated assembly completions are logged in the system audit trail for visibility and traceability.
