You can use this function to control how many times users can add a specific component, such as PCBOARD
, to a specific SFC number, to assemblies in Assembly Point
or As-Built Configuration
. This prevents
users from reusing components that may no longer be in good working condition (see Component Usage Reset).
In System Rule Maintenance
, you have set the following system rules for your shop floor:
Validate Component Usage
Max Component Usage Count
Max Component Usage Message
When a user attempts to add a component that has exceeded its usage count in Assembly Point
or As-Built Configuration
, the system prevents the addition and responds according to your settings. Users who have access to Component
Usage Reset
may override your settings (see Build Tab).
If you want to override the maximum usage count for a specific component, specify this value in the Max Usage as Component
field on the Build
tab page in Material Maintenance
(see Component
Traceability Rules).
If you want to override the maximum usage count for a specific component in a BOM, specify this value in the Max Usage as Component
field on the Main
tab page on the Component Details
screen for the
component in BOM Maintenance
(see Adding BOM Components).
