Material Defects#

Overview#

The Material Defects functionality will allow you to capture defects manually or automatically via inspection equipment.

With this feature you will also be able to manage the lifecycle of the defect and use the defect information for First Pass Yield calculations.

The defect lifecycle depends on the value of the /Cmf/System/Configuration/MaterialTracking/Defects/ConfirmationRequired system configuration entry. When this configuration is set to true, a defect must be marked as Confirmed before it can be Fixed. All other defect-handling operations remain available from the Open state. The diagrams below illustrate how the lifecycle changes based on this configuration.

The Product Repair Policy can affect the possibility of repairing the Material in the following ways:

  • Allow All (default) - repair is possible for all Defect Reasons.
  • Allow Specific - repair is possible only for the associated Product Defects.
  • Forbid All - no repair is possible for all Defect Reasons.
  • Forbid Specific - repair is not possible for the associated Product Defects.
