Sequence Of Steps#

Step 1#

This screen contains all the information necessary to complete the transaction.

1. Select an Off-Flow Reason which is applicable to Rework.
2. If a Goto and Return Flow Paths are associated with that Reason, they are automatically pre-selected, otherwise the system will pre-select the Step where the Material is currently located. In any case, the Return Flow Path can be overriden. The Material will be sent to the GoTo Flow Path and, once it reaches the last Step in that Flow, it will return to the Return Flow Path.
3. Optionally, enter a Comment.
4. Press Rework to continue.

Step 2: Documents#

This step is used to display Documents which are associated with the transaction context. To open any Document it is only necessary to select a Document and click View.

Step 3: Data Collection#

This screen is used to collect data from a pre-defined Data Collection.

1. If the Material has a Long Running or Immediate Data Collection configured, a screen will be displayed where it is possible to fill-in the Data Collection data. If the Data Collection is Long Running, data can be filled later (partially or completely). If the Data Collection is Immediate, it must be filled completely.

Step 4: Checklist#

This screen is used to complete a pre-defined Checklist associated with the Track-In.

1. The Checklist is Immediate and must be filled completely.

• If all the parameters of the Data Collection belong to the Checklist, the Data Collection step will not be shown.
• If only some parameters of the Data Collection belong to the Checklist, both steps must be shown so you can fill every item you need.
