In MFS, you can manually change the status of the following objects:
· Conveyor segments
· Conveyor segment groups
· Resource
· Communication point
· Communication channel
This makes sense, for example, if you want to lock objects due to maintenance work or because of a malfunction.
Each time the status of an object changes, an exception handling process is triggered. You can set an appropriate exception code in the warehouse management monitor.
