Disposition Function

Description

Related Default Activity Code

FUTURE_HOLD

Allows the operator to select any future step on the current routing (see Routing). The system returns the SFC number to the current step and places a hold on the SFC number when it reaches the selected step (see SFC Number).

Note that if the SFCs on Hold Can be Started system rule is set to true, the operator at the selected step can start, but not complete the SFC number.

FUTURE_HOLD

FUTURE_HOLD_COMPLETE

Allows the operator to select any future step on the current routing. The system completes the SFC number, returns it to the next step, and places a hold on the SFC number when it reaches the selected step.

Note that if the SFCs on Hold Can be Started system rule is set to true, the operator at the selected step can start, but not complete the SFC number.

FUTURE_HOLD

IMMEDIATE_HOLD

Places the SFC number on hold at the current step

IMMED_HOLD

IMMEDIATE_HOLD_COMPLETE

Places the SFC number on hold at the next step on the current routing

IMMED_HOLD

LOCAL_REWORK

Keeps the SFC number at the current step and indicates that the SFC number is in rework (RW) in the status columns in the POD. The system removes the rework status when the operator completes the SFC number.

LOCAL_REWORK

NO_DEFECT_FOUND

On a Production routing, returns the SFC number to the current step. On an NC or Special routing, returns the SFC number to the original step on the previous Production or NC routing.

Note that the system does not cancel the logged NC, even though the operator found no defect.

NO_DEFECT_FOUND

NO_DEFECT_FOUND_COMPLETE

On an Production routing, completes the SFC number and sends it to the next step. On an Special routing, completes the SFC number at the original step on the previous Production or NC routing, and returns the SFC number to the next step after the original step.

Note that the system does not cancel the logged NC, even though the operator found no defect.

NO_DEFECT_FOUND

NON_STANDARD_NC_ROUTER

Moves the SFC number to the first step on a dynamic routing

NON_STAND_NC_ROUTER

RETURN_TO_ANY

You can use this only with NC or Special routings.

Allows the operator to select any step on the previous Production or NC routing. The system returns the SFC number to the selected step.

RTRN_TO_ANY

RETURN_TO_ANY_PREVIOUS

You can use this only with NC or Special routings.

Allows the operator to select any step on the previous production or NC routing previous to the original step. The system returns the SFC number to the selected step.

RTRN_TO_ANY_PREV

RETURN_TO_NEXT

You can use this only with NC or Special routings.

Returns the SFC number to the next step after the original step on the previous Production or NC routing

RTRN_TO_NEXT

RETURN_TO_ORIGINAL

You can use this only with NC or Special routings.

Returns the SFC number to the original step on the previous Production or NC routing

RTRN_TO_ORIG

RETURN_TO_PREVIOUS

You can use this only with NC or special routings.

Returns the SFC number to the previous step before the original step on the previous Production or NC routing.

RTRN_TO_PREV

RETURN_TO_SITE

Signs off the SFC number, changes the status to Returned, and marks for immediate archive. The Site-to-Site Transfer process allows the SFC number to be transferred back to the current site again when it finds the SFC number with this new status value (see Site-to-Site Transfers).

RTRN_TO_SITE

RTRN_TO_VENDOR

SCRAP

Scraps the SFC number

SCRAP

SPECIAL_OPERATION

If you do not enter a value in the Disposition Routing column, the system displays a list of all special routings to the operator. The system allows operators to filter this list.

SPECIAL_OPER

STANDARD_NC_ROUTER

Moves the SFC number to the first step on an NC routing

If you do not enter a value in the Disposition Routing column, the system displays a list of all NC routings to the operator. The system allows operators to filter this list.

STAND_NC_ROUTER

USEABLE_AS_IS

On Production routing, returns the SFC number to the current step. On an NC or Special routing, returns the SFC number to the original step on the previous Production or NC routing.

USABLE

USEABLE_AS_IS_COMPLETE

On a Production routing, completes the SFC number and sends it to the next step. On an NC or Special routing, completes the SFC number at the original step on the previous Production or NC routing, and returns the SFC number to the next step after the original step.

USABLE

RETURN_TO_ORIGINAL_AND_PREVIOUS

Combines the RETURN_TO_ORIGINAL and RETURN_TO_ANY_PREVIOUS functions

When the SFC number is on a Production routing, the system lists all previous operations.

When the SFC number is on an NC, Special, or nonstandard routing, the system displays all previous operations for that routing and the original Production routing including the original operation where the SFC number was In Queue or Active.
