Background documentationSFC Quantity Adjustment

 

You use this activity to increase or reduce the quantity of an SFC number. This activity is typically used to adjust the quantity of the SFC number when actual yield differs from planned yield at a routing step.

Note Note

This activity does not support adjustment of SFC quantities on the following:

  • A step in a Simultaneous Group

  • A step in an Any Order Group

  • Branched steps designated by the Next Operator queue decision

End of the note.
Prerequisites

The SFC number whose quantity you are adjusting has one of the following statuses:

  • New

  • In Queue

Fields

The following table describes fields requiring explanation:

Field

Description

SFC

Indicates the SFC number whose quantity you are changing.

Step to Adjust Qty At

Indicates the step at which to increase or reduce the quantity in queue. Appears only on relaxed routings when there is quantity in queue at more than one step.

Qty In Queue

Indicates the In Queue quantity of the SFC number at the current or selected step.

New Qty in Queue

Specifies the quantity you want to have in queue after the adjustment.

Procedure

To adjust an SFC number's quantity, proceed as follows:

  1. On the SFC Quantity Adjustment screen, in the SFC field, enter the SFC number for which you want to adjust quantity and press TAB. The system displays information about the SFC number you entered in the table.

  2. For relaxed routings, in the Step to Adjust Qty At field, enter the step at which to increase or reduce the quantity in queue and press TAB.

  3. In the New Qty in Queue field, enter the quantity you want to have in queue at the specified step after the adjustment.

  4. Choose the Adjust button to perform the adjustment.

Result

The system adjusts the quantity in queue to the new quantity specified at the selected step. The SFC number’s quantity and the shop order are also adjusted.

The system creates a tolerance range by internally recording the historical minimum and historical maximum SFC quantity values used in the adjustment.

Example Example

On a relaxed routing you have released a non-serialized SFC with a quantity of 100. Thirty pieces are in queue at step 020. You use SFC Quantity Adjustment to reduce this quantity by 5 at this step. The system now displays 25 pieces in queue at step 020 and records the historical minimum for the SFC quantity as 95 and the historical maximum as 100 for a new tolerance range of 95 to 100.

End of the example.

Note Note

The following may also affect the tolerance range:

  • Additional releases of a non-serialized SFC

  • Splitting an SFC

  • Merging an SFC

  • Scrapping a partial quantity of an SFC

  • Using the SFC Quantity Multiplication activity hook

End of the note.

Note Note

The Check Configuration hook point activity is typically used at a final step to ensure all required components have been assembled. To check whether assembled component quantities fall within the tolerance range, set the USE_QTY_ADJUST_TOLERANCE activity rule in the Check Configuration hook point activity to TRUE.

End of the note.
