Compose New Material for Qualification#

MaintenanceActivityOrder.ComposeNewMaterialForQualification

Overview#

This operation is used to Compose a New Material to be assigned to the Qualification of a Maintenance Activity Order (MAO).

Preconditions#

The MAO exists and is Active.
The MAO Maintenance Type is set to Qualification.
The MAO Material Type Restriction Mode is set to Require Specific.
The MAO Execution State is Requested, Approved, Released, In Progress, or Waiting For Acceptance.
There must be at least one MAO Qualification Check whose system state is neither Completed or Obsolete.
The Material exists, is Active, and Non-Template.
The Material is Top-Most and not in an Off-Flow (either Temporary Off-Flow or Rework).
The Material Pick List Item Count must be empty.
The Material In Transfer Order Item must be empty.
If the Material is associated with a Resource, and the state of the Material is Consumable, Durable, Dispatched, In Process, or the property In Store is set to true, the Resource Inventory Locked must be false.
The Material Is Approved property must not be set to false.
The Material Expiration Date is null, or if defined, it must be in the future.
The Source Material Floor Life must be valid. This condition is met if any of the following applies:
- Floor Life Remaining Hours is null; or
- Floor Life Remaining Hours is greater than 0 and the Floor Life Counter State is Stopped; or
- The Floor Life Counter State is Running, and the Floor Life Remaining Hours - calculated as Floor Life Remaining Hours - (Now() - Floor Life Open Date) - is greater than 0.
The Material Product must not be blocked or if blocked, the Material property Override Product Block must be true.
The MAO Assignment Compose Map BOM is defined and the Product of the chosen Sub-Material at position 1 must match the Product of the BOM Product in the same position.

Sequence of Steps#

Step 1: General Data#

Select a MAO that matches the preconditions above.
Select the Compose New Material button on the top ribbon.
In the Compose New Material for Qualification wizard, provide the following information:
- Name – unique identifier of the Material. May be automatically generated if a name generator is configured.
- Description – optional free-text description providing additional context for the Material.
- State Model – lifecycle model that defines the allowed states and transitions of the Material.
- State – initial state of the Material within the selected state model.
- Facility – Facility to which the Material is assigned.
- Form – physical or logical form of the Material, selected from the MaterialForm Lookup Table.
- Flow and Step – production Flow and Step associated with the Material, used for routing and processing.
- Primary Quantity – main quantity of the Material, expressed in the primary unit of measure.
- Expiration Date – date after which the Material can no longer be used as a consumable.
- Manufacturer – name of the Material manufacturer.
- Supplier – supplier from which the Material was procured.
- Manufacturer Part Number – manufacturer-defined part number associated with the Material.
- Manufacturer Lot Number – manufacturer lot or batch identifier.
- Manufacturer Date Code – date code provided by the manufacturer, typically indicating the production date.
- Purchase Order Number – purchase order reference associated with the Material.
- RoHS Compliant – indicates whether the Material complies with the restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS) directive.
- Moisture Sensitivity Level – classification of the Material sensitivity to moisture exposure.
- Floor Life Remaining Hours – remaining usable floor life of the Material, expressed in hours.
- Priority – scheduling priority of the Material, from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest).
- Splits Allowed – indicates whether the Material can be split into multiple materials.
- Merges Allowed – indicates whether the Material can be merged with other materials.
- Hot – identifies the Material as a hot lot, giving it highest priority in dispatching and scheduling.
- Exclude From Scheduling – indicates whether the Material is excluded from scheduling operations.
- Production Order – production order associated with the Material.
- Order Nr – free-text order reference for external or customer-specific tracking.
- Possible Start Date – earliest date on which the Material can be considered for scheduling.
- Due Date – target completion date for the Material, used for scheduling purposes.
- Target Material Quantity – planned target quantity for the Material. Must be greater than zero.
- Target Material Units – unit of measure associated with the target material quantity.
- Capacity Class – capacity classification of the Material, using the values on the CapacityClass Lookup Table.

Enable or disable the Assign to Qualification flag. This option is available only when the Compose BOM Mode is set to Full and is enabled by default.
Select Next to proceed.

Step 3: Source Materials#

Add as many Source Materials as needed by selecting the icon. Only Source Materials with a compatible form for the selected Sub-Materials Form will be shown (based on the MaterialFormRelation Generic Table). You can also remove Materials by selecting the icon and filter Materials by selecting the icon.
Select Next to continue.

Step 4: Sub-Materials Transfer#

Add each Sub-Material in a designated position within the Container, as determined by the BOM Items Products. For highlighted positions in the Target Container, select compatible Materials based on the BOM-defined Products.
Select Create to complete the operation.
