Assign work center to workstations (button)

If a customer wants to install workstations along the production line, with scanners to read serial numbers as they passed down the line,  this button provides the ability to limit a work station (specific computer) to be able to only transfer material “FROM” a certain Work Center.  So, when a user first opens the "SFT by WO" or "Shop Floor Tracking by Bar Code" module, the module will use the default work center assigned for this workstation, but if user chooses to use a different work center, supervisor approval or a user that has the option  "Allow Changing Default Work Center for Serial Number Transfer" box checked within the Security module is required to continue.  After a supervisor's or user with this option’s password is entered, the default work center will be changed to the one that the supervisor entered password for.   For Example:   the workstation is assigned to use “TU” as default work center, now if user chooses to use “AI” to transfer, the system will ask for supervisor’s password, if user cancels the password, the default work center will still be “TU”, but if the supervisor enters his/her password on this machine, the default work center will be changed to “AI”.  If now the user tried to transfer from “TU” again, the system will ask for supervisor’s password again.  If user exits the module and come back, the default work center will be “TU” again. 



Defect Code Entry In-Line Mode, the system will check to see if the serial number is currently in the Work Center which was set up here.  If not, a special supervisor’s password is required to transfer the serial number FROM a different Work Center.  After the supervisor password is entered, the system will use the new Work Center to be the default FROM Work Center until the user closes the screen.  The next time the user opens the screen, the default FROM Work Center will be changed back to the one defined in Systems Setup.
