Material Page#

Material.Show

The Material page displays general information on the specific Material. In addition it enables you to perform all the operations that can be performed on a specific Material.

Details View#

Depending on the optional modules that are licensed in the system, the Details view will display some or all of the following page sections:

• Details - displays general information on the Material.
• Sub-Materials - if the current Material has Sub-Materials, their detailed information will be displayed here.
• Packages - displays general information on the Packages.
• Holds/Off-Flows - displays information on the existing Material holds and off-flows.
• Defects - displays information on defects recorded for the Material.
• Time Constraints - shows the time-based limitations of a Material.
• Characteristics - allows you to change the characteristics of a Material.
• Dependencies - enables you to visualize the relation between a certain Material and its predecessors (components).
• Future Actions - enables you to visualize the future actions that are planned for the Material.
• Protocols - shows any existing Protocols that might have been previously created for the Resource.
• Experiments - displays Experiments associated with the Material. Materials with terminated Experiments will still appear in this section, indicated by the System State Column.
• Transfer Requirements - enables you to visualize and/or create any Transfer Requirements for the Material.
• Costing - enables the visualization of Material Standard Costs previously entered by you (only if the Costing module is properly licensed in the system).
• Notifications - shows any existing Notification created for the Material (only if the notifications optional module is properly licensed in the system).
• Scheduling - displays information on the Scheduling and Planning of the Material and allows you to manage them (only if the Scheduling module is properly licensed in the system).
• Maps - provides you with information related to the Maps that are linked to the Material.
• Collected Data - enables the visualization of existing Data Collection.
• Attributes - enables the visualization of existing Attributes and the possibility to create new ones. For more information on Attributes, visit the section Attributes.
• Attachments - shows the documents that are attached to the Material.

Pop-over Messages#

The Materials on the list will sometimes be accompanied by badges to illustrate different underlying Material circumstances; for example, if a Material is InProcess and a Checklist for Track-Out has been previously associated to the Material, a badge will be displayed next to the Material, in order to indicate that the Material has a Checklist (long running) that needs to be completed before the Track-Out operation takes place.

When a Material awaits an Experiment, a lock badge will appear next to its name. Clicking on it will display a pop-over message, as shown in the image below.

Container View#

If the Material is stored in a Container, a top-down view of the Container is made available to you, displaying all the storage positions of the Container, including information on the stored Material as well as any stored Sub-Materials on each position. You can zoom and drag the visualization and select each of the positions that are shown in grid form, with the pertinent information being displayed on the right-hand panel.

Traceability View#

The Traceability view displays a quick overview of the history of the Material, with the Flow and respective Steps, together with a slew of information that when present will be divided into several different panels:

• General Data

• Resource where the Material was processed or stored

  Note

  By selecting in the Recipe column you can view the recipe parameter details of that Resource, including overriden parameters.

• Data Collections performed on the Material

• Checklists performed on the Material
• BOM used
• Recipes used and details on their parameters
• Operations performed on the Material

Filters can be applied to display only a subset of the entities of the Material history. The entities to filter are:

• Resource
• BOM
• Recipe
• DataCollection
• Checklist

Defects View#

The Defects view displays information on product defects and their details. On this page you are able to record and perform operations on the defects.

Genealogy View#

The Genealogy view displays information on the Ascendants and Descendants (Parent, Main, and Child Materials) of the Material.

Line Flow View#

The Line Flow view displays a quick overview of the context of the Material that is currently being processed in a Step belonging to a Line Flow. Information is split on several panels:

• General Data
• Resources
• Durables
• BOM
• Recipes

Maintenance View#

The Maintenance view displays information on the Materials' scheduled Maintenance Activity Orders.

These Maintenance Activity Orders can be viewed in both calendar or list formats, enabling you to navigate through different dates and to apply different filters to visualize orders by Week, Month or Day.

In this view, it is also possible to filter Maintenance Activity Orders by their name, Entity's name, or their system state.

Compare View#

Material.Compare

This view provides a quick visual comparison between the selected entity version and any other version that can be selected through it. You can also export the comparison results to a PDF file through the Export Comparison button on the top ribbon. For more information, see Compare Entity Versions.

References View#

This view combines information concerning other objects that have references to the current object:

• Relations - displays the existing Relations between the Material and other entities and enables you to edit them. For more information on Relations, visit the section Relations.
• Where Used - displays the set of relationships between the Material and the other objects used throughout the system.

History View#

This view combines information concerning other objects that have references to the current Material object:

• History - displays the history of the operations, associated information, user(s) performing the changes and date and time of the changes.
