Overview#

This operation is used to create a Reason. A template can also be created using a similar procedure and there is also the possibility of using a template to create the new object as well. This selection can be done in the main entity menu.

Setup#

No specific setup is required other than to meet the preconditions of the transaction.

Preconditions#

• The Reason does not currently exist in the system.

Sequence of Steps#

Step 1: General Data#

1. Provide a name for the Reason.
2. Optionally, provide a description of the Reason.

Step 2: Information#

1. Select the Reason type (Bonus, Defect, Hold, Loss (default), Off Flow, Pause).

2. For Reasons of type Loss and Bonus, it's possible to define the following:

   • Whether to exclude the Reason from the Step Yield calculations.
   • Whether to exclude the Reason from the Resource Yield calculations.

   • A Distribution List - email address list that is used to message a group of recipients.

     Note

     If a Distribution List is defined, it must be well formed - it must contain valid email addresses, and if multiple email addresses are provided, they must be separated by a semicolon.

4. Optionally, define a Reason category (from the Lookup Table ReasonCategory) to classify the Reasons according to some logical group.
