Create Substrate Map Overlay#

SubstrateMap.CreateOverlay

Overview#

This operation is used to create a new Substrate Map Overlay version by selecting an Overlay base and it also has the option of applying a Bin Converter.

Preconditions#

• The Substrate Map to be updated is Active in the system.
• The Overlay within the Substrate Map to be used as a base is of type BinCodeMap.

Setup#

No specific setup is required other than to meet the preconditions of the transaction.

Sequence of Steps#

The Create Overlay wizard can be called from the Substrate Map page within the Business Data Group. In Views, select Content, select an Overlay of type BinCodeMap, and then select the Create Overlay button on the top ribbon:

Step 1: General Data#

1. Configure the optional settings for the new Overlay:

   • Synchronize Quantity - enables synchronization of the Substrate Map with the Material quantity. For more information, see Set Material Substrate Map. If enabled, Step 2: Synchronization will be available.

     Note

     You can define the default value for the Synchronize Quantity by editing the entry Context = SubstrateMap.CreateMapOverlay for the Element = Synchronize in the GUIElementDefaultValue Generic Table.

   • Copy Overlay Information - if enabled, the Substrate Map Overlay Information from the original Substrate Map are copied into the newly created Overlay. For more information, see Manage Substrate Map Overlay Information.

     Note

     You can define the default value for the Copy Overlay Information by editing the entry Context = SubstrateMap.CreateMapOverlay for the Element = CopyOverlayInformation in the GUIElementDefaultValue Generic Table.

   • Set Overlay as Active - if enabled, the newly created Overlay will become the active version. When an Overlay is marked as Active, the system visually identifies it by displaying a next to the corresponding version.

   

2. Select a Bin Converter to be applied. You can select:

   • The Substrate Map default Bin Converter (if any).
   • Any of the Substrate Map Overlay Bin Converter.
   • Any Bin Converter.

3. You can create a new:

   • Version for Current Map Name - creates a new version for the currently selected Map Name.
   • Version for Another Map Name - creates a new version based on an existing Map Name. This option is available only if other Overlays of type BinCodeMap exist. In this case, select the Overlay that will serve as the source.

   • New Map Name - creates a new Map Name with version 1. When selecting this option, you must provide the following information:

     • Overlay - select the Overlay that will be associated with the new Map Name.
     • Facility - optionally, associate a Facility.
     • Step - optionally, associate a Step.
     • Resource - optionally, associate a Resource.

     Info

     Regardless of whether the Copy Overlay Information option is enabled, if the Step and the Resource were defined in previous versions and are left empty when creating a new Map Name, the system automatically inherits the most recently defined values.

   Note

   The Overlay will always be created under the Base Substrate Map.

4. Select Create to complete the operation.

Step 2: Synchronization#

1. If you want to synchronize the Substrate Map with the Material, enable Synchronize Quantity property. This option is available only if the operations described in Set Material Substrate Map and Synchronize Material with Substrate Map have been previously performed.

   

2. Select Next.

3. Confirm the information on the screen.

4. Optionally, enter a Loss reason.

5. Select Create to complete the operation.
