# Compose New Material for Qualification

:lock: 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

1. Select a **MAO** that matches the preconditions above.
2. Select the **Compose New Material** button on the top ribbon.
3. 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-lt]] 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-lt]] Lookup Table.

### Step 2: Compose Information

1. Select the Compose BOM Mode: Full or Partial.
2. Select the Target **Container**.
3. Select the Materials' Form.

        For more information about these properties and their associated preconditions, see [[user-guide-compose-submaterials]].

4. 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.
5. Select **Next** to proceed.

### Step 3: Source Materials

1. Add as many Source **Materials** as needed by selecting the :material-plus: icon. Only Source **Materials** with a compatible form for the selected Sub-Materials Form will be shown (based on the [[materialformrelation-gt]] Generic Table). You can also remove **Materials** by selecting the :material-trash-can: icon and filter **Materials** by selecting the :core-static-filter-sm: icon.
2. Select **Next** to continue.

### Step 4: Sub-Materials Transfer

1. 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**.
2. Select **Create** to complete the operation.
