Create Send-Ahead Run#

SendAheadRun.Create

SendAheadRun.CreateTemplate

SendAheadRun.CreateFromTemplate

Overview#

This operation is used to create a Send-Ahead Run and the Materials that will be put in waiting while the send-ahead Material is being processed. A template can also be created using a similar procedure and there is also the possibility of using a template to create the new object as well. This selection can be done in the main entity menu.

Setup#

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

Preconditions#

• The Send-Ahead Run does not currently exist in the system.
• All Materials must be in state Queued and be Top-Most.
• There is a valid Reason under the /Cmf/System/Configuration/SendAheadRun/HoldReason configuration entry.

Sequence of Steps#

You can create a Send-Ahead Run from the Send-Ahead Run section in the Business Data menu by selecting the New button, from the Material details page or through any other location where Material details can be accessed. After starting the wizard, the system will allow you to configure the new entity through a number of steps.

Step 1: General Data#

1. Provide a name for the Send-Ahead Run.
2. Optionally, provide a description of the Send-Ahead Run.
3. Optionally, define the Data Group to which this entity will belong.
4. Select Next to continue to the next section.

Step 2: Waiting Materials#

General data will be displayed on the Material for which the Send-Ahead Run will be created. You can also define some additional configurations for each Material:

1. Define the Split Type for the send-ahead scenario:
   • None
   • Logical
   • Physical
2. If the Split is defined as Logical or Physical, define the Split Scope. There are two options:
   • Temporary
   • Permanent
3. If the Split is defined as Logical or Physical, optionally define the default Container for the Sub-Materials.
4. Select Next to continue to the next section.

Step 3: Sub-Materials to Send-Ahead#

In this step select which of the Sub-Materials to be included in the Send-Ahead Run. At least one Sub-Material must be selected.

After you select the Sub-Materials, select Next to continue to the next section.

Step 4: Details#

General data will be displayed on the Flow and Step of the Materials for which the Send-Ahead Run will be created. You can also define some additional configurations:

1. Define the Selection Mode to configure the Steps and Flows where the Send-Ahead Run will take place:
   • Step
   • Logical Flow Path
   • Physical Flow Path
2. If the Selection Mode was defined as Step, define the Steps for the Wait, Evaluate and Merge stages.
3. If the Selection Mode was defined as Logical Flow Path, you can also specify the Logical Flow Path for any of the Steps defined above.
4. If the Selection Mode was defined as Physical Flow Path, you must define Flows and Steps for Wait, Evaluate and Merge stages.
5. Define the Results Capture Mode:
   • Manual
   • Manual At TrackOut
   • SPC With No Violation
   • Data Collection Within Limits (this is referring to the Error Limits of the Data Collection)
6. Define whether the Waiting Materials are to be released from Hold automatically when the result of the Send-Ahead Run is pass (default value is true).
7. Select Create to complete the operation.
