An assembly is a collection of parts belonging to one device (e.g., a pushbutton with an NO contact, the appropriate bracket, and the pushbutton head). The assembly has its own part number and can contain subassemblies. The parts contained in assemblies also contain information about part variants. Specially for device selection and for reports, then, the technical data for variants will also be taken into account.
