Scenario 3: Use the Contains Durables Library Option#

When you enable the Contains Durables Library option, the Resource acts as an internal durable pool instead of a fixed set of attachment positions.

Use this final scenario after Scenario 2: Use a BOM with Two Durable Products to see how the same durable rules work when the Resource keeps the Durables in a library.

In semiconductor manufacturing, reticles are a common example. The same exposure tool can process many Products, and each Product can require several layers. A reticle library allows the Resource to store, validate, and track the available reticles without removing them after every execution.

  1. Select true in the Contains Durables Library field on the Resource. You can do this only when no Durables are currently attached.

  2. Select Manage Durables or Perform Setup, and assign the required Durables to the library.

  3. Repeat the first two scenarios, but keep the Durables in the library of the Resource and change only their positions when needed.

  4. Let the Resource manage the durable movements automatically, or adjust them manually if the use case requires it.
  5. Remember that a Durable assigned to the library of a Resource cannot be used by another Resource at the same time.

This final scenario completes the progression from a single durable requirement, to two required Durables, and then to a durable library on the Resource.
