Resource Slot Configuration Setup

You use this activity to associate slot configurations with a resource, and to load or replenish slot configurations for a resource, as a function of Time-Based Genealogy (see Time-Based Genealogy).

This activity can be also used with the PARSE_SLOT_COMPONENT hook point (see Hook Points).

Rules

The following table describes rules and settings that you can change for this activity in Activity Maintenance:

Rule	Setting
`ALLOW_SKIP`	If set to `TRUE`, allows the user to skip a component in sequence mode. Note that this rule applies to both Basic and Advanced GUI modes.
`CONFLICTBOM`	If set to `TRUE` (default), saves the proposed slot configuration even though the slot configuration setup has a conflict with the BOM that was used
`DISPLAY_REV_BASIC`	If set to `TRUE`, Displays the required Version field on the Basic Load or Replenish screen.
`EXCESSBOM`	If set to `TRUE` (default), saves the Proposed slot configuration even though the slot configuration contains a component that does not exist in the BOM that was used
`HIDE_LOADED_ASSY_DATA`	If set to `TRUE`, does not display the assembly data field values during replenishment
`KEEP_ASSY_DATA`	If set to `TRUE` (default), carries assembly data from a previous resource slot configuration setup forward to a proposed slot configuration
`LOAD_OR_REPLENISH_GUI`	`BASIC`: If the user is loading or replenishing selected components, then he or she is immediately taken to a screen that displays the Slot, Component and assembly data fields associated to the component after the user tabs from the field. Upon submitting Done, the component table is displayed. `ADVANCED` (default): Displays the Advanced screen with the component table, component details and data fields for user entry Caution This rule must have the same setting for Resource Slot Config Setup (`EN530`) and Load or Replenish (`EN531`). End of the caution.
`LOAD_OR_REPLENISH_MODE`	`CHOOSE` (default): Allows operators to load or replenish components for a slot configuration in any order `SEQUENCE`: Requires the operators to load or replenish components for a slot configuration in the sequence mode; the system supplies the identifier for each slot
`MISSINGBOM`	If set to `TRUE` (default), saves the proposed slot configuration even though a component in the BOM that was used is missing from the slot configuration setup

Fields

The following table describes fields requiring explanation:

Field	Description
Resource	The resource you are associating with this slot configuration
Setup State	Displays the setup state associated with the resource in Resource Maintenance Open: There is no setup needed for this resource. Breaking Down: The resource is broken. Not Setup: The resource is not set up. Setting Up: The resource is being set up. Setup: The resource is set up and ready for production
Slot Config State	Proposed: This slot configuration is proposed to a resource. A proposed slot configuration is a slot configuration that is being set up to run in the future. The slots may or may not contain assembly data associated to it. Set Up: This slot configuration is attached to the resource, and all of the slots on the resource are loaded with assembly data as required.
Assy Data	Identifies whether the slots have been loaded with assembly data: Empty: No slots have assembly data loaded. Partial: One or more slots are missing assembly data being loaded. Full: All slots have assembly data loaded.
Propose	Assigns a slot configuration to a resource to be run in the future and does not perform a BOM verification Note You can propose a slot configuration only if it is in the Releasable state to a resource. End of the note.
Verify and Propose	Assigns a slot configuration to a resource to be run in the future and performs a BOM verification Note You can propose a slot configuration only if it is in the Releasable state to a resource. End of the note.
Activate Selected	Activates a slot configuration in the Proposed state on a resource; both the slot configuration state and resource state update to the Set Up state
Remove Selected Setup	Removes a slot configuration in the Proposed state from the resource setup Removing a slot configuration in the Setting Up state from a resource causes the resource state to change to Open.
Unload	Unloads the slots that are loaded and all associated assembly data records on the resource from the system, including any records associated with a proposed slot configuration Removes a slot configuration in the Set Up state from the resource and changes the resource state to Open
Load or Replenish - All Slots	Displays the Advanced or Basic screen to load assembly data for all the slots
Load or Replenish - Selected Slots	Displays the Advanced or Basic UI to load assembly data for only the selected slots
