Create Send-Ahead Run#

🔒 SendAheadRun.Create

🔒 SendAheadRun.CreateTemplate

🔒 SendAheadRun.CreateFromTemplate

Overview#

This operation is used to create a Send-Ahead Run and the Materials that will be put in waiting while the send-ahead Material is being processed. 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 Send-Ahead Run does not currently exist in the system.
  • All Materials must be in state Queued and be Top-Most.
  • There is a valid Hold Reason under the /Cmf/System/Configuration/SendAheadRun/HoldReason configuration entry. For more information, see the Editing Configuration Entries section.

Sequence of Steps#

You can create a Send-Ahead Run from the Send-Ahead Run section in the Business Data menu by selecting the New button, from the Material details page or through any other location where Material details can be accessed. After starting the wizard, the system will allow you to configure the new entity through a number of steps.

General Data#

  1. Provide a name for the Send-Ahead Run.
  2. Optionally, provide a description of the Send-Ahead Run.
  3. Optionally, define the Data Group to which this entity will belong.
  4. Select Next to continue to the next section.

Waiting Materials#

Info

If you started this operation from the Send-Ahead Run section, start by selecting one or more Materials to use for the Send-Ahead Run. If started from the Material details page, a single Material should already be automatically selected.

For each of the selected Waiting Materials, the system will display their General Data and allow you to define some additional configurations, as described below.

  1. Define the Split Type for the send-ahead scenario:

    • None
    • Logical
    • Physical

    Note

    This option is only available for Materials with Sub-Materials.

  2. If the Split is defined as Logical or Physical, define the Split Scope. There are two options:

    • Temporary
    • Permanent
  3. If the Split is defined as Logical or Physical, optionally define the default Container for the Sub-Materials.
  4. Select Next to continue to the next section.

Experiment#

Info

This section will only be displayed if the preconditions below are met:

  • There is only one Waiting Material selected.
  • The Waiting Material has an Experiment and an Experiment Material Group Name associated.
  • You can only associate multiple Send-Ahead Runs with the same Experiment if their Sub-Material numbers match exactly.

In the Experiment tab, specify whether to:

  • Relax Material Group Integrity Checks – This option is disabled by default, meaning the system will verify the presence of all Sub-Materials. However, if enabled, when processing Experiment Actions for the Waiting Material, the system will ignore the Sub-Materials assigned to the Send-Ahead Materials associated with the Experiment, thereby relaxing the Material Group Integrity Checks.

  • Apply Experiment Material Group Actions – This option is disabled by default, meaning the system will skip processing Experiment Actions entirely. If enabled, the system will execute the default logic for processing Experiment Actions.

Sub-Materials to Send-Ahead#

Info

If you started this operation from the Send-Ahead Run section, you can select Sub-Materials for each of the Materials you selected in the previous page so that they can be used for the Send-Ahead Run. If started from the Material details page, a single top-most Material should already be automatically selected.

This section will only be displayed if the Material selected has Sub-Materials.

In this step, select which are the Sub-Materials to be included in the Send-Ahead Run. At least one Sub-Material must be selected.

After you select the Sub-Materials, select Next to continue to the next section.

Send-Ahead Materials#

In this step, you can add the Materials that will be used in the Send-Ahead Run. You can add or remove as many Materials as desired by selecting the and , respectively.

Details#

General data will be displayed on the Flow and Step of the Materials for which the Send-Ahead Run will be created. You can also define some additional configurations:

  1. Define the Selection Mode to configure the Steps and Flows where the Send-Ahead Run will take place:
    • Step
    • Logical Flow Path
    • Physical Flow Path
  2. If the Selection Mode was defined as Step, define the Steps for the Wait, Evaluate and Merge stages.
  3. If the Selection Mode was defined as Logical Flow Path, you can also specify the Logical Flow Path for any of the Steps defined above.
  4. If the Selection Mode was defined as Physical Flow Path, you must define Flows and Steps for Wait, Evaluate and Merge stages.
  5. Define the Results Capture Mode:
    • Manual
    • Manual At TrackOut
    • SPC With No Violation
    • Data Collection Within Limits (this is referring to the Error Limits of the Data Collection)
  6. Define whether to Auto Release on Pass, allowing the system to automatically release Waiting Materials from Hold when the Send-Ahead Run result is Pass (default value: true).
  7. Select Create to complete the operation.
