Process documentationAllowing Operators to Create Trackable SFC Numbers

 

You can use this process to set up the Create Trackable SFC feature (see Create Trackable SFC).

Process

  1. In System Rule Maintenance, you enter the default shop order for trackable SFC numbers in the Default Shop Order for Trackable SFCs system rule. If required, you set the Track Inventory system rule to true (see System Rule Maintenance).

  2. In Material Maintenance, you create a record for the material and select Manufacture/Purchased or Purchased in the Type field. By creating a trackable SFC number for these material types, you allow the system to track purchased material as though the material was built rather than purchased. The purchased material can be processed through a routing to verify that the material is good quality (see Material Maintenance).

  3. If you want to allow operators to create trackable SFC numbers in Assembly Point (CT500) or when they add components in the POD or in As-Built Configuration, on the Component Details screen for the component in BOM Maintenance, select Material Default or True in the Trackable Component field (see BOM Maintenance).

  4. If you want to require operators to enter a shop order in Create Trackable SFC, on the Rules tab page in Activity Maintenance, you retrieve Create Trackable SFC (PR300) and enter True in the Setting column for the REQUIRE_SHOP_ORDER option (see Activity Maintenance).

Result

When an operator enters values in Create Trackable SFC and chooses Create SFC, the system creates the SFC number record, requires a shop order, and sets its status to Done or In Queue dependent upon the value of the Set to Done checkbox.

When an operator enters the SFC number of a trackable SFC component in Assembly Point or in As-Built Configuration, the system creates the SFC number record and sets its status to Done.
