Create Trackable SFC

You use this activity to create an SFC number for a material that is not manufactured but needs to be tracked with the system.

Rules

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

Rule	Description
`REQUIRE_SHOP_ORDER`	`TRUE`: Requires the operator to enter a value in the Shop Order field on the Create Trackable SFC screen `FALSE` (default): Allows the operator to leave the Shop Order field on the Create Trackable SFC screen blank

Rule

Description

REQUIRE_SHOP_ORDER

TRUE: Requires the operator to enter a value in the Shop Order field on the Create Trackable SFC screen

FALSE (default): Allows the operator to leave the Shop Order field on the Create Trackable SFC screen blank

Fields

The following table describes fields requiring explanation:

Field	Description
QTY	The number of the component to which you are assigning this SFC number Use the quantity of the material. For example, a panel of 6 would have a quantity of 6. Most of the time, this value is 1.
Routing Type	Special Routing: Limits the routing names displayed in the browse of the Routing field to special routings. A special routing contains at least one special operation. NC Routing: Limits the routing names displayed in the browser of the Routing field to nonconformance routings. A nonconformance routing is used to rework nonconformed SFC numbers. Production Routing: Limits the routing names displayed in the browser of the Routing field to production routings. A production routing is used to produce or assemble a material. For more information, see Routing.
Mark SFC as Done	If selected, assigns the Done status to the new SFC number, allowing it to be used in assembly. If deselected, places the new SFC number in queue at the first step on the routing specified in the Routing field.

Field

Description

QTY

The number of the component to which you are assigning this SFC number

Use the quantity of the material. For example, a panel of 6 would have a quantity of 6. Most of the time, this value is 1.

Routing Type

Special Routing:

Limits the routing names displayed in the browse of the Routing field to special routings. A special routing contains at least one special operation.

NC Routing:

Limits the routing names displayed in the browser of the Routing field to nonconformance routings. A nonconformance routing is used to rework nonconformed SFC numbers.

Production Routing: Limits the routing names displayed in the browser of the Routing field to production routings. A production routing is used to produce or assemble a material.

For more information, see Routing.

Mark SFC as Done

If selected, assigns the Done status to the new SFC number, allowing it to be used in assembly.

If deselected, places the new SFC number in queue at the first step on the routing specified in the Routing field.

Procedure

To create a trackable SFC number, proceed as follows:

Make sure the value in the Site field is correct.
Enter the number for the new SFC in the SFC field. This unique number represents a specific instance of a particular material that needs to be tracked in the system.
Make sure the value in the QTY field is correct and enter the name of the component, as known by the system, in the Material field.
Do one of the following:
- If you want to place the SFC number in queue at a routing, enter a value in the Routing field.
- If you want the system to mark the SFC number as Done, select the Mark SFC as Done checkbox.
Enter values in the remaining fields as needed.
Choose Create.

Result

The system creates the new SFC number and either places it in a queue at the first step on the specified routing, or marks it as Done.
