Build Tab 
You use this tab page to assign assembly data types to materials.
Prerequisites
You have defined fields in Data Field Definition Maintenance and assigned them to the data type of Assembly category in Data Field Assignment Maintenance (see Data Field Definition Maintenance and Data Field Assignment Maintenance).
Fields
The following table describes fields requiring explanation:
Field |
Description |
|---|---|
Data to Collect on Assembly |
For a material, the data fields displayed to the operators to collect when they assemble this material into an assembly |
Data to Collect on Removal |
For a material, the data fields displayed to the operators to collect when material is removed from an assembly |
Data to Collect on Inventory Receipt |
For a material, the data fields displayed to the operators when material is added to floor stock inventory |
Assembly Pt Parsing Activity |
The activity ID of the custom activity you want the system to run at the PARSE_COMPONENT hook point of the Assembly Point activity |
User Argument |
The data the system passes to the custom activity you identified in the Assembly Pt Parsing Activity field The Assembly Point activity neither uses nor validates the data. |
Validation Mask Group |
The mask group for this material |
Max Usage as Component |
The maximum usage count for this material. Overrides the site-level system rule.
If the lot size is greater than 1, the actual maximum usage of the material can equal the Max Usage as Component value multiplied by the lot size value. End of the note. |
Increment Batch Number |
The increment method for the batch number that is sent to ERP when an SFC number of an order is completed at the last ERP reporting step of a routing None (default): The batch number is not used for this material. Per Day: Creates a new batch number every working day Per Order: Creates a new batch number for each new shop order Per Shift: Creates a new batch number every time a new working shift starts
This field is visible only when the ERP Integration Active system rule is set to true. End of the note. |
Time-Based Component Type |
The time-based tracking type for the material Normal: Only one assembly data record of the component is loaded onto a slot during runtime. Splice: Allows multiple assembly data records of a component to be loaded onto a slot during runtime. When the current assembly data record reaches zero or the threshold value, it assumes the next assembly data record is being consumed. Continuous: Allows multiple assembly data records of a component to be loaded onto a slot even if the assembly data record reaches zero. All assembly data records are recorded as consumed until the entire slot configuration is unloaded. |
Consumption Tolerance |
If there are multiple assembly data records loaded in a slot, both assembly data records will be recorded for each SFC number until the tolerance is reached. |
Trackable Component |
If selected, users can create trackable SFC numbers for this component.
This setting controls the Create Trackable SFC production activity (see Create Trackable SFC). To allow operators to create trackable SFCs in Assembly Point (CT500) or when they add components in the POD or in As-Built Configuration, add this component to a BOM in BOM Maintenance. End of the note. |
Note
If you selected the Panel checkbox and specified a lot size value of greater than 1 on the Main tab page, you need to specify the locations of the pieces on the panel (see Panel).
