Tutorial: Step Validate Sub Materials#

Estimated time to read: 2 minutes

Objective#

Learn how to validate sub-materials during track-out to ensure correct material hierarchy and traceability.

Step 0: Validate Preconditions#

Before performing track-out validation, ensure:

  • Feature is enabled:

    • /SMT/ValidateSubMaterials/IsEnabled = True

  • Step Type is correctly configured:

    • Matches /SMT/ValidateSubMaterials/StepTypeTrigger

  • Materials:

    • Have sub-materials
    • Are not top-level materials
    • Require validation (/SMT/ValidateSubMaterials/IsEnabled/ = True)

Step 1: Prepare Material for Track-Out#

  • Move the material to a step where validation is required

  • Initiate the Track-Out operation

  • During track-out, the validation screen is automatically displayed

  • Use a scanner (recommended) or manual input

  • Scan materials according to expected structure

Validate Sub Materials

Scenario A: 3-Level Structure (Work Order > Panel > Board)#

  • Scan materials in sequence:

    • Panel, followed by Board(s)

  • Ensure each scan:

    • Matches the expected level
    • Belongs to the correct parent

  • Observe system feedback:

    • Green: valid scan
    • Red: invalid scan

Scenario B: 2-Level Structure (Work Order > Board)#

  • Scan boards in any order

  • Ensure all required boards are scanned

Step 4: Resolve Validation Errors (if any)#

Common issues during scanning:

  • Incorrect material type
  • Material does not belong to parent
  • Duplicate scan
  • Missing required materials
  • Quantity exceeded

Correct errors by:

  • Re-scanning correct materials
  • Completing missing scans

Step 5: Complete Track-Out#

  • Proceed once all materials are validated (all green)

  • Track-out is completed successfully

Expected Result#

  • All sub-materials are validated against their parent
  • Material hierarchy is confirmed
  • Track-out proceeds only after successful validation

Frequent Configuration Questions#

Why can't I proceed with Track-Out?#

Ensure that all required materials have been validated and that all necessary scans have been completed before performing the Track-Out operation.

Why am I frequently receiving validation errors?#

Verify the following:

  • The materials are being scanned in the correct sequence, especially in a three-level hierarchy scenario.
  • The material hierarchy is correctly configured and reflects the expected parent-child relationships.

Why am I getting duplicate scan errors?#

Ensure that each material is scanned only once during the validation process.
