  • You have set up Work Center PODs in POD Maintenance (see Setting Up Work Center PODs).

  • You have set up necessary data in List Maintenance.

  • You have set the Display End Unit Number system rule to True in order to display the End Unit Number field in the POD.

Procedure

  1. In the POD Selection area, fill out at least one of the following fields to find the SFC numbers you need to work on:

    • Work Center

      Retrieves SFC numbers assigned to a specific work center

    • End Unit Number

  2. Retrieve the data. The POD displays information about the SFC number in the POD Work List (see POD Work List).

  3. Select the SFC number you need to work on from the POD Work List. The POD displays the routing steps belonging to the selected SFC number in the Operation List (see Operation List).

  4. Choose one or more routing steps from the Operation List to start working on an SFC number.

  5. Choose Start either to indicate that you have started working on an SFC number or to join other users working on an SFC number at the same operation.

    End of the note.
