Add Material to Container#

🔒 Material.AddToContainer

Overview#

This operation is used to associate a Material with a Container at a given Container position.

Setup#

  • A Container must be available with unused positions at the capacity unit of the Container, which matches the primary or secondary quantity of the Material.

Preconditions#

  • Container is Active and there are free available positions in the Container.
  • Material and Container are in the same Facility.
  • Material is not In Transit.
  • The Container is in state Available.
  • Material does not currently have a Container associated with it. Refer to Transfer Material Between Containers if that is the case.
  • If the Container has the property Is Auto Generate Position Enabled set to False, the supplied Position must not already be in use at the Container.

  • If the property Use Container Restrictions in the Step of the Material is True, the available containers will be the ones that match the restrictions applied by the context of that Step. For more information, see Contexts View or MaterialContainerTypeContext.

    Note

    The Container Used Positions must be less than the Container Max Usable Positions.

  • If the Capacity Validation Mode of the Container is Units, the Capacity Units must be the same as either the Primary Units or the Secondary Units of the Material and the quantity of the Material being associated cannot exceed the Capacity Per Position. If the Capacity Validation Mode of the Container is Form, the Material must have the same Form as the one defined in the Capacity Form of the Container.

  • If the Top Most Material is associated with a Resource of Position Unit Type that is Container, the following must be observed:
    • The Resource Association Type of the Container must be None or Related Material.
    • If the Container is already associated with a Resource (Resource Association Type is Related Material), the Container must be associated with the Resource where the Top Most Material is currently associated.
    • If the Container is not already in the Resource (Resource Association Type is None), and if the Container Type matches the Position Container Type of the Resource or the Position Container Type of the Resource is Null, the Resource must have at least one available position, and it must have the Is Auto Generate Position Enabled set to True.
