Enter into SQLSYSSETTING.EXE within the manexSQL root directory.

Enter password when prompted.

Select Production > Shop Floor Tracking Defaults from the menu.

 

 


The following screen will be displayed:

 

 

 

The user may edit any of the defaults by selecting the Edit button from the main toolbar and selecting any default they would like to be changed. 


Check List items may be added by selecting the Add button from the main toolbar and entering the description of the item to be listed.  

Serial Number Tracking Method cannot be changed, once a selection has been made at the beginning of a manexSQL implementation. This decision, once started, is irrevocable. 

The options to decide from are the following:

1. Do not use serial number tracking.
2. Serial Number will always be unique. 
  • This will insure that a serial number is unique throughout the company. Meaning that when it is used, it can never be used again, no matter the product.
3. Serial Number will be unique by product. 
  • This will allow duplicate serial numbers to be used throughout the company, but they must be unique for a given product. They can be used for other products, but never again for the same product.

If serial numbers are not put to use, then the option will not appear when creating new part numbers within the ICM module.


If serial numbers are put to use, then the user will have the option, when creating parts within the ICM module, to either serialize the part or leave it unserialized.


If serial numbers are used on a part, then the user must enter serial numbers in order to move the product through the SFT for shipment.


The user will also need to define whether serial numbers are to be transferred by work center or by activity within a work center. 


For more details on why the system enforces the uniqueness per product rule and will not base the uniqueness on SN that exists in the quantity at that time, see Article #2495.

 

When the user has completed the changes, they must select from the main toolbar to Save or Abandon their changes, before exiting.

 

Where Used: in all shop floor functions for a product’s work orders.
