# Moisture Sensitive Level Scenarios

This section walks through the main MSL execution scenarios described in the source tutorial.

## Scenario 1 - Start Floor Life Counter

Use the material available in [master data](masterdata/moisture_sensitive_level.xlsx): `RawMaterials.03`.

1. Open the **Material Details** page and confirm that floor life is defined and the state is **Stopped**.
2. Execute the [[user-guide-start-floor-life-counter]] operation.
3. Confirm that the state changes to **Running** and that the **Floor Life Open Date** is recorded.

This operation also affects sub-materials.

## Scenario 2 - Stop Floor Life Counter

Use the same material from the previous scenario: `RawMaterials.03`.

1. Confirm that floor life is defined and the state is **Running**.
2. Execute the [[user-guide-stop-floor-life-counter]] operation.
3. Confirm that the state changes to **Stopped** and that the **Floor Life Open Date** is removed.

This operation also affects sub-materials.

## Scenario 3 - Seal Material

Use the same material from the previous scenario: `RawMaterials.03`.

1. Confirm that floor life is defined and the state is **Stopped** or **Running**.
2. Execute the [[user-guide-seal-material]] operation.
3. Confirm that the state is **Stopped** and that **Floor Life Sealed** is set to `Yes`.

This operation also affects sub-materials.

![Screenshot showing the material after sealing, with Floor Life Sealed set to Yes.](images/msl-scenario-seal-after.png)

## Scenario 4 - Reset Floor Life

Use the same material from the previous scenario: `RawMaterials.03`.

1. Confirm that floor life is defined and the state is **Stopped**.
2. Execute the [[user-guide-reset-floor-life-counter]] operation.
3. Confirm that the remaining floor life is reset according to the time defined in the MSL table.

This operation also affects sub-materials.

!!! note
    If the material MSL is unlimited, the reset cannot be performed because the remaining floor life is also unlimited.

{% include-markdown 'includes/cloudflare_stream.md' %}

## Scenario 5 - Store Material

In this scenario, storing the material under specific storage conditions automatically stops the counter.

On the storage resource, enable the following flags:

- **Floor Life Safe** - determines whether the remaining floor life is paused while the material is stored.
- **Start Floor Life Counter On Retrieve** - automatically starts the counter when the material is retrieved, provided the material is not sealed.

For the resource setup itself, see [[user-guide-create-resource]].

![Screenshot showing the storage resource flags for Floor Life Safe and Start Floor Life Counter On Retrieve.](images/msl-storage-resource-flags.png)

Use `RawMaterials.03`, with the counter in either the running or stopped state.

1. Store the material in the storage resource and confirm that the state changes to, or remains, **Stopped**.
2. Retrieve the material from the storage resource and confirm that the state changes to **Running**.
3. Store the material again and confirm that the state changes back to **Stopped**.

![Screenshot showing the material after being stored, with the floor life counter stopped.](images/msl-scenario-store-after-store.png)

![Screenshot showing the material after retrieval, with the floor life counter running again.](images/msl-scenario-store-after-retrieve.png)

![Screenshot showing the material after being stored again, with the floor life counter stopped.](images/msl-scenario-store-after-store-again.png)

See the configuration of this scenario in the video below:

{% set video_id = '1938ff96bdaa83d47dbab5a55462e0cc' %}
{% include-markdown 'includes/cloudflare_stream.md' %}

## Scenario 6 - Consume Material with Floor Life

For this scenario, use `RawMaterials.01`. The material should be ready to be consumed and the floor life should be in either the **Running** or **Stopped** state.

The scenario uses the [[assemble-material]] operation.

![Screenshot showing the material before consumption, with a valid remaining floor life.](images/msl-scenario-consume-before.png)

1. Track in the material to **Engine Block H08-P9.002**.
2. At track-in, a BOM appears.
3. After track-in, open **Assemble**.
4. Confirm that `RawMaterials.01` is available in the assemble operation.

![Screenshot showing the Assemble Material wizard where the valid material is available for use.](images/msl-scenario-consume-assemble-success.png)

Then repeat the same exercise when the floor life reaches `0`.

1. Confirm that the floor life of the material has expired.
2. Open **Assemble** again.
3. Confirm that the material is no longer available in the wizard.

![Screenshot showing the material after the remaining floor life reaches zero.](images/msl-scenario-consume-expired-material.png)

![Screenshot showing the Assemble Material wizard with the expired material blocked from use.](images/msl-scenario-consume-assemble-blocked.png)

See the configuration of this scenario in the video below:

{% set video_id = '68d76ea1f12b0af5d119edfd946a3664' %}
{% include-markdown 'includes/cloudflare_stream.md' %}

## Scenario 7 - Attach Durable with Floor Life

For this scenario, create the durable using [[register-material]]. The same behavior also applies if it is created directly in the material management page.

The main goal is to explore floor life when it is defined on the **Product Manufacturer**.

![Screenshot showing the durable product manufacturer with the configured Moisture Sensitivity Level and Floor Life.](images/msl-durable-product-manufacturer.png)

1. Add a new line in **Register Materials**.
2. Enter `11` in **Part Number**.
3. Confirm that the system automatically fills the **MS-Level** field according to the product manufacturer configuration.
4. Register the durable and confirm that the system fills in the floor life automatically.

![Screenshot showing Register Materials with the durable data, including MSL and expiration date fields.](images/msl-register-durable-with-expiration.png)

![Screenshot showing the created durable with the floor life data already defined.](images/msl-durable-created.png)

Next, use [[user-guide-manage-resource-durables]] to assign the durable to `Coater-001`.

1. Assign the durable while the remaining floor life is valid and confirm that the operation succeeds.
2. Repeat the assignment when the remaining floor life reaches `0`.
3. Confirm that the system displays an error because the floor life has expired.

![Screenshot showing the durable assignment to the resource while the floor life is still valid.](images/msl-durable-assign-success.png)

![Screenshot showing the error returned when the durable is assigned after its floor life has expired.](images/msl-durable-assign-expired-error.png)

See the configuration of this scenario in the video below:

<!-- Video filename: moisture_sensitive_level_configuration_7th_scenario.mp4 -->
{% set video_id = '42b46a207b18f524cad78cc149b4e693' %}
{% include-markdown 'includes/cloudflare_stream.md' %}

## Scenario 8 - Use the Expiration Date in the Material

Use the same durable from the previous scenario. Even though the example uses a durable, the expiration date can be used with any material type.

At this point, the durable still has remaining floor life, but its expiration date has already been exceeded.

![Screenshot showing the durable with remaining floor life still running.](images/msl-durable-running-floor-life.png)

![Screenshot showing the durable details page with an expiration date already in the past.](images/msl-durable-expiration-date.png)

1. Assign the durable to `Coater-001`.
2. Confirm that the system blocks the operation because the expiration date has been exceeded.

![Screenshot showing the error returned when the expiration date is out of range.](images/msl-durable-expiration-date-error.png)

The expiration date can be used independently of floor life. Although this scenario is demonstrated with durable assignment, the same behavior also applies when using **Assemble**, **Combine**, or **Compose**.
