Example documentationExample: Processing Buyoff Request Message

 

The following procedure includes steps that the operator might perform when processing a buyoff request message on the Message Board.

Prerequisites

  • You have created inspection buyoffs and attached to the ASSEMBLY operation (see Buyoff Maintenance).

  • You have created SFC numbers for the MANMAT1 material. These SFC numbers are to be processed in the Operation POD at the ASSEMBLY operation.

  • The user belongs to a user group that can accept buyoffs.

Procedure

  1. Open the default operation POD (POD – Operation).

  2. Enter the following data:

    Field

    Value

    Operation

    ASSEMBLY

    Resource

    DEFAULT

    SFC

    MANMAT1-0001

  3. Choose Start to process the SFC number MANMAT1-0001.

    The status of the SFC number changes to Active.

  4. Choose Complete.

    The status of the SFC number changes to Complete Pending because there is an open buyoff at this operation.

    At the same time the system generates the buyoff request message to the Message Board.

  5. Open the Message Board.

  6. Find the message of the BUYOFF_REQUEST type and select it in the list.

  7. Choose Claim on the bottom of the Message Board.

    The Claim Comments screen appears.

  8. Enter a comment and choose Claim.

    The status of the message changes to Claimed.

  9. Choose the Details icon to view message details.

    The View Message screen with the Accept and Reject buttons appears.

  10. Do one of the following:

    • Choose Accept to accept the buyoff.

      The system displays the Accept Comments screen.

      When you enter a comment and choose Accept, the comment is logged against the message, the status of the message changes to Closed. At the same time the system sends the accept request back to the operation and completes the SFC number at the operation. The status of the SFC number changes from Complete Pending to Complete.

    • Choose Reject to reject the buyoff.

      The system displays a simplified Log NC Reject screen with the default NC code of COMMENT.

      When you enter a comment and choose Reject, the comment is logged against the message, the status of the message changes to Closed. At the same time the system sends the accept request back to the operation and reopens the buyoffs for the SFC number at the operation. The status of the SFC number changes from Complete Pending to In Queue (R). All the completed buyoffs are reopened.
