Manage Resource Durables#

Resource.ManageDurables

Overview#

This operation is used to manage the Resource Durables.

Supports Smart Barcodes

You can use Smart Barcode Scanning to perform this operation.

Setup#

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

Preconditions#

The Resource exists, it is Active and its Processing Type is Process or Line.
All Durables to be attached and detached from the Resource are Active and in the same Facility as the Resource.
If there are In Process Materials at the Resource (both Material and Resource must be Top-Most) and the Contains Durable Library property is false, the initial and final list of Durable Products and Durable Positions must be the same.
If there are In Process Materials at the Resource (both Material and Resource must be Top-Most) and the Contains Durable Library property is true, the final count of attached Durables must be greater than 0.
If the Resource has the Contains Durables Library property set to true, it must have a number of Durable Positions greater than zero.
If the Validate Durables Context (see below) flag is active, the system will validate whether the Durable to be attached is valid for Resource-Position, that is, the MaterialDurablesContext Smart Table resolution results in at least one BOM of Scope Durables that has a matching BOM Item Product and Position. In addition, if the Step is defined in the BOM Item, the Durable must be in that Step otherwise the operation will not be possible.
The Product from which the Durable Material will be attached must have Product Type equal to Durable.
The Scope of the BOM associated to the Product must be Durables.
If the Top-Most Resource has Materials In Process, the system must check if there are any Materials Durables BOM Instances with the Includes Material Reservations set to true. If this is the case, the system must check the following:
- For any newly attached or selected Material Durable, if the matching Durable BOM Instance BOM Product (by Position) is Production Order, the newly attached or selected Material Durable must be associated with the Production Order of the Durables BOM Instance Material.
- For any newly attached or selected Material Durable, if the matching Durable BOM Instance BOM Product (by Position) is Material Dependency, there must be an Active Material Dependency from the newly attached or selected Material to the Durables BOM instance Material.

Sequence of Steps#

Step 1#

Select a Resource and then from the Manage button on the top ribbon, select Durables.
If existent, the system will present the currently attached Durables at the Resource, organized by Durable Type.
Attach new Durables by selecting the icon and defining the new Durable and position or detach existing Durables by selecting the delete icon.
Optionally, enter a comment.
Select Update and the system will confirm that the Durables were attached or detached successfully from the Resource.

Info

When a Material is tracked in at a Resource, a Durables BOM Instance is generated that will capture all Durable Materials that have a defined Position. However, if there is a new Durables selection during the processing of the Material, these Durables will also be included in the Durables BOM Instance and will appear along the original Durables in the Material History.

Validate Durables Context#

If you want to set the Validate Durables Context, you should:

Edit the Resource, and in the Additional Information tab, define at least one durable position:

This will make the Durables section available in your Resource:

Select the Durables section, followed by the Manage button:

In the Manage Resource Durables wizard, select Options and you will see that the Validate Durable Context is set to true by default:

If you do not need this option to be active, just simply change it to false:
