Function documentationDisplay of SFC Number's Data in the Shop Workbench Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

When an operator selects an SFC number in the Default Shop Workbench POD, the data for the SFC number is displayed in the Shop Workbench in a tree-like structure. The tree has multiple levels that represent the various parts of an SFC number.

Levels of the Tree
  • Level one

    The SFC Current Information including the SFC number’s Material, Routing, BOM and Shop Order. If the SFC number has any work instructions with a change alert set, a change alert icon will display next to the SFC Current Information title.

  • Level two

    The SFC number’s operation along with its Status, Description and Work Center.

    Icons that represent buyoffs, components, data collections, tools, and work instructions are displayed next to the operation's name if the object is attached to the operation. The buyoff, component, and data collection icons are grayed out if all of the applicable data has been collected.

  • Level three

    Operation detail nodes: Buyoffs, Components, Data Collections, Tools, and Work Instructions

    If an operation does not have data attached to a detail node, then that node is not displayed under that operation. For example, if an operation does not have any tool groups attached, then the Tools node does not appear under that operation and the tool icon will not be displayed next to the operation name. If a work instruction has a change alert set, then a change alert icon appears next to the operation name.

    There are activity rules for each of the detail icons that control whether that node displays (default is YES). Additionally, there are activity rules that control the number of rows of data to display for each node (default is 100). For example, if the DC_ROW_LIMIT is set to 25 and there are 30 DC groups to collect, only 25 would display and a yellow triangle icon would display signifying that the row limit had been reached with the icon’s tool tip displaying the message about the number of records exceeding the limit. For more information, see Shop Workbench Configuration.

With this multilevel tree, the user can see an overall view of an SFC number, its operations and operation details. When an SFC number initially displays in the Shop Workbench, the SFC Current Information (level one) and the operation (level two) nodes are expanded and the operation detail nodes are collapsed.
