You use this activity to add material during the assembly of a product outside of a POD and to remove/replace one or more components from/in an assembly (see Removing, Replacing, and Adding Components and Assembly Point)

This activity validates the location, reservation, and time-sensitive key attributes before the material can be consumed by an SFC number (see Material and SFC Number). It supports the consumption of serialized or non-serialized components.

Rules

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

Rule

Setting

ALLOW_DONE_SFC

If set to TRUE, allows the user to modify SFC numbers that have the Done status

ALLOW_NEW_SFC

If set to TRUE, allows the user to modify SFC numbers that have the New status

ALLOW_REMOVE_ALL

If set to TRUE (default), displays the Remove All Assembled Components action on the Actions screen

ALLOW_RETURN_COMPONENT

If set to TRUE (default), displays a button allowing the user to return a component to floor stock when removing or replacing it

ALLOW_SCRAP_COMPONENT

If set to TRUE (default), displays a button allowing the user to scrap a component when removing or replacing it

ALLOW_SEND_TO_ROUTER

If set to TRUE (default), displays a button allowing the user to send a component to another routing when removing or replacing it

DISPLAY_BARCODE

If set to YES, displays the Barcode field on the Add, Remove, or Replace screen (see Two-Dimensional (2D) Barcode Scanning)

EXPAND_DATA_UPON_RETRIEVE

TRUE (default): Displays the assembly data component tree in an expanded view or displays all BOM Component and Actual Component assembled when the user retrieves SFC as built record

FALSE: Displays the assembly data component tree in a collapsed view or only BOM component level when the user retrieves component information

Fields

The following tables describe fields requiring explanation:

Initial screen

Field

Description

Component State

Displays only components with the specified state in the table

Assembled & Unassembled: Displays both components that have been assembled onto an SFC number and components listed in the BOM that have not been assembled onto the SFC number

All: Displays components with any state

Assembled: Displays only components that have been assembled onto an SFC number

Auto Assembled: Displays only assembled components that had an assembly operation and an assembly data type of none

Removed: Displays only components that have been removed from an SFC number

Unassembled: Displays only components listed in the BOM that have not been assembled onto an SFC number

SFC

The SFC number of the assembly

Find Component

Finds the component in the table by component name, reference designator, inventory ID, or SFC number

Material/Vers.

The material name and version of the SFC number

Routing/Vers.

The routing and version of the routing on which the SFC number is being processed

Status

The SFC number status

BOM Component

The name of the component specified in the BOM for the SFC number

Operation

The operation where the component was assembled

For Unassembled components, indicates the assembly operation for the component specified in the SFC BOM

Qty Required

The quantity of the component specified in the BOM for the SFC number

Qty Assembled

The quantity of the component already added to the SFC number

Note that when the component is a piece on a panel, Qty Required and Qty Assembled indicate quantities for the piece at the location displayed in the Location column

Ref Des

The component's reference designator as specified in the BOM

Assembly Type

Manual: The component was assembled by an operator who entered information about the component in the assembly point screen.

Time-Based: The component was assembled by a resource through time-based component traceability (see Time-Based Genealogy).

Auto: The component was automatically assembled by the system

Alternate: The component assembled was an alternate to the primary BOM component.

Actual Component

The component assembled onto or removed from the SFC number

Displayed as a link if the component has not been removed

Add

Displays the Add Component screen for the component selected in the table

Remove

Displays the Remove Component screen for the component selected in the table

Note that component state cannot be Unassembled or Removed.

Replace

Displays the Remove Component screen for the component selected in the table

Note that upon completion of the Remove Component screen, the system automatically displays the Add Component screen.

Actions

Displays the Actions screen

Add Component Screen

Field

Description

Component

The component you are assembling onto the SFC number

Location

If the SFC number is a panel, specifies the location of the piece of the panel where you are adding the component

Operation

The operation at which the component is being assembled

Resource

The resource at which the component is being assembled

Remove Component Screen

Field

Description

Usage Count

The number of times this component has been assembled onto a parent assembly

Qty to Remove

The quantity of the actual component that the operator is to remove from the SFC number

Remove Operation

The operation at which the actual component is being removed

Remove Resource

The resource at which the actual component is being removed

Scrap

Scraps the component, making it unavailable for further use

Return

Returns the component inventory ID or SFC number to floor stock

Caution Caution

Use only with a component that has an SFC number or an inventory ID

End of the caution.

Send to Routing

Displays information about the component and a list specifying possible destinations for the removed component. Additional destinations may appear in another list when you make a selection. If you are unsure where to send a removed component, ask your supervisor.

Caution Caution

Use only with a component that has an SFC number or an inventory ID.

End of the caution.
Actions Menu

Field

Description

Add Non-BOM Component

Displays the Add Component screen, allowing you to enter information about a non-BOM component

Note that this action is not displayed if the Allow Non-BOM Components on Add system rule is set to false.

Expand All Folders

Expands all folders in the component tree

Collapse All Folders

Closes all folders in the component tree

Remove All Assembled Components

Removes all assembled components from the SFC number in the component tree

Note that this action is not displayed if the ALLOW_REMOVE_ALL activity rule is set to FALSE

Show Sub-Assembly SFC

Opens a new As-Built Configuration screen for the component selected in the table if the component is another SFC number only
