 Consistency Checks for Production Versions

Use

You use this function to check whether the data of a production version is consistent with the data of the assigned task lists/master recipes and the assigned alternative BOM. In this way, you make sure that a valid task list or valid BOM really exists for the entire validity period of the production version.

Features

The consistency check determines a check status for the objects assigned (task list/recipe or BOM). All change statuses within the validity period of the production version are taken into account. Warning and error messages about inconsistencies are displayed in the check result. The check status for each object is displayed as an icon in the production version. The following icons may be displayed:

Check Status

Meaning

Possible Reasons

Error

  • The object does not continuously exist throughout the entire validity period of the production version.

  • The lot-size range of the object does not comprise the entire lot-size range of the production version.

Warning

  • No check was carried out for the object.

  • The deletion flag is set for the object.

  • The header material of the production version is not assigned to the task list/recipe.

O.K.

  • None of the above inconsistencies occurred.

At the production version level, the check status is summarized as follows:

  • If no task list/master recipe or alternative BOM is assigned to the production version, the yellow traffic-light is displayed.

  • Otherwise, the check status of the object with the worst check result is displayed. A red traffic-light is, for example, displayed whenever a red traffic-light exists at the object level.

Activities

You can check the data consistency of the production version as follows:

  • For individual production versions of a recipe or material (see Maintaining Production Versions ) The check status is saved together with the production version, recipe, or material.

  • For all production versions of a material, alternative BOM, or recipe (see Checking Production Versions (Mass Function) ) You decide on the initial screen whether you only want to display the check result or also transfer the check status to the production version.

Note Note

The system does not automatically lock a production version for all usages if the check result is negative. However, you can set the lock indicator manually if you want to (see Editing Production Versions ).
