Create SFC
You use the DM520
hook point activity to create the SFC number the first time it is seen by the system. This avoids the need to release demand before materials can
be produced on the shop floor and enables operators to enter a non-existent SFC number in the POD. You can use this hook point activity with PRE_START
and PRE_VALIDATE_START
hook points at operation or resource level.
This hook point activity is commonly used with automatic equipment such as barcode scanners that work with automated machines.
Prerequisites
You have set up resource with Material
or Shop Order
type in Resource Setup
(see Resource Setup).
Integration
If used together with Check Next Number
(EN520
) or Check Mask Validation
(EN521
), you must set up EN520
or EN521
to
run before Create SFC
runs.
Recommendation
Use the EN521
hook point activity instead of the deprecated EN520
hook point activity.
To cause the system to check the ID of a new SFC number before creating this SFC number, assign both EN521
(EN520
) and DM520
to the same hook point (PRE_START
or PRE_VALIDATE_START)
.
