Perform Material Checklist - New#

🔒 Material.PerformChecklist

Overview#

This transaction is used to perform a long running Checklist for a Material that has been opened during the Track-In. Because the Checklist is Long Running, it may be performed over a long period of time.

Setup#

  • It is necessary to create a Checklist with execution mode Long Running and scope Material Tracking and then associate it to the Step using the Step Checklist Context.
  • If the Checklist has a Data Collection you need to associate it to the Step in the Material Data Collection Context Smart Table.
  • If the Checklist has a BOM you need to associate it to the Step in the BOM Context Smart Table.
  • At Track-In, the Checklist Instance will be created, and only after the Checklist has been completed, it will be possible to Track-Out the Material.

Preconditions#

The Material has a Long Running Checklist in state Open.

Sequence of Steps#

Step 1#

    • May have parameters.
    • May require an electronic signature, if the Material.PerformChecklist security feature has the Force Signature option set to true.
    • May have data collection parameters, and you can post the data directly on the wizard below when using the Modern interface.
    • May have BOM products.
    • May have a documentation URL.
    • May have a note, which can be edited.

Note

In terms of the BOM Products, the behavior is defined by the scope of the BOM associated with the Checklist. Also, more than one Material can be added to fulfill the required quantity. You can add new Materials by selecting the ADD icon and remove them by selecting the icon after each Material. All Materials must be valid and meet the criteria for assembly as stated in Assemble Material.
