SFC Split

You use this activity to split any quantity of one SFC number into one or more new SFC numbers. You can also specify the entire quantity to relabel the SFC number (see Production Operator Dashboard (POD)).

The system copies related records to the new SFC numbers (see Serialization Rules).

Note Note

You cannot serialize an SFC number if it is a member of an SFC group whose status is either Group Created or Sampling Active (see Sampling).

Note Note

For information about automatically splitting non-serialized SFCs, see Relaxed Routing Flow and NC Dispositioning.

Prerequisites

The ALLOW_ACTIVE_SFC_SPLIT activity rule is set to TRUE to allow an SFC number with the Active status to be split.

Rules

The following table describes rules and settings that you can change for the PR570 activity in Activity Maintenance:

Rule	Setting
ALLOW_ACTIVE_SFC_SPLIT	TRUE (default): Allows an SFC number with the status of Active to be split FALSE: Prevents an SFC number with the status of Active from being split
AUTOMATIC_ID_GENERATION	TRUE: Automatically generates new SFC numbers, using the SFC Release next number pattern in Next Number Maintenance The operator cannot assign new SFC numbers. FALSE (default): Requires the operator to enter the new SFC numbers in SFC Split The system does not generate the new SFC numbers.

Rule

Setting

ALLOW_ACTIVE_SFC_SPLIT

TRUE (default): Allows an SFC number with the status of Active to be split

FALSE: Prevents an SFC number with the status of Active from being split

AUTOMATIC_ID_GENERATION

TRUE: Automatically generates new SFC numbers, using the SFC Release next number pattern in Next Number Maintenance

The operator cannot assign new SFC numbers.

FALSE (default): Requires the operator to enter the new SFC numbers in SFC Split

The system does not generate the new SFC numbers.

The following table describes rules and settings that you can change for the PR571 activity in Activity Maintenance:

Rule	Setting
AUTOMATIC_ID_GENERATION	TRUE: Automatically generates new SFC numbers using the SFC Release next number pattern in Next Number Maintenance The operator cannot assign new SFC numbers. FALSE (default): Requires the operator to enter numbers for new SFC numbers in SFC Split The system does not generate the new SFC numbers.

Rule

Setting

AUTOMATIC_ID_GENERATION

TRUE: Automatically generates new SFC numbers using the SFC Release next number pattern in Next Number Maintenance

The operator cannot assign new SFC numbers.

FALSE (default): Requires the operator to enter numbers for new SFC numbers in SFC Split

The system does not generate the new SFC numbers.

Procedure

To split SFC numbers, proceed as follows:

In the Qty to Split field, enter the quantity to split from the SFC number displayed in the SFC field.

Note
If SFC Split appears after you choose Log NC, the Qty to Split field is display only, and shows the quantity of SFC numbers you are nonconforming.

End of the note.
In the New SFC field, enter the SFC number you want the system to use to identify the new SFC number.

Note
If the AUTOMATIC_ID_GENERATION activity rule is set to TRUE, the system automatically generates new SFC numbers using the SFC Release pattern in Next Number Maintenance. The operator cannot assign new SFC numbers.

End of the note.
Choose Split.

Note Note

To split an additional quantity from the SFC number identified in the SFC field, repeat steps 1 through 3.

End of the note.

Result

The system performs the split and displays information about the new SFC number in the table. The system adds a row each time you split an SFC number off the parent SFC number.
