Setup the Shop Floor Tracking Defaults

This action will then prompt the user for a password

The following screen will be displayed, enter the Production/Shop Floor Tracking Defaults Module

 

 

The following screen will be displayed:

 

 

 

The user may edit any of the defaults by selecting the Edit button from the main tool bar and selecting the default to be changed.  Check List items may be added by selecting the Add button from the main tool bar and entering the description of the item to be listed. 
 
Serial Number Tracking Method can NOT be changed once a selection has been made at the beginning of a ManEx implementation.  THIS DECISION, ONCE STARTED, IS IRREVOCABLE.  The decision to be made is:
 
1, Do NOT use Serial Number tracking.
2, Serial Number will always be unique.  This will insure that a serial number is unique throughout the company; (meaning once used, can NEVER be used again, no matter what product).   
3, Serial Number will be unique by Product.  This will allow duplicate serial numbers to be used throughout the company,  but they must be unique for a given product, (can be used for other products, but never again for the same  product).  

If Serial Numbers are NOT to be used, then the option will NOT appear when creating new part numbers within the ICM module.
If Serial Numbers ARE used, then the user will have the option when creating parts within the ICM module to either serialize the part or leave it unserialized. 
If Serial Numbers are used on a part, then the user MUST enter Serial Numbers in order to move product through the SFT for shipment. 
The user will also need to define whether Serial Numbers are to be transferred by Work Center or by Activity within a Work Center.
 
For further detail on why the system enforces the uniqueness per Product rule and will not base the uniqueness on SN that exist in the Qty at that time see Article #2495.

 

 

When the user has completed the changes they must select the Save or Abandon button from the main tool bar, before exiting.

 

Where Used:  In all shop floor functions for a product’s work orders.
