• [Yes]: Allow material label to show Bin Code.
• [No]: it’s the default value, do not show Bin Code on the Material label.
• Oracle Obsoleted AML Control: This parameter is the switch to control the oracle obsoleted AML or not.

Use Case:

If the AML is obsoleted, the AML status will change release to Obsoleted, and the Part Number of the AML will change, too(For Example prefix with OBS).

The Traceability system will pop up the AML alarm at the production line because the customer's AML status changed from the release to OBS state, which means it is not allowed to buy the customer’s materials anymore, but the inventory customer material in the factory is allowed to use it. In this way, we will modify the AML of the agile system to Prefix OBS, Such as LFNK4210250 original AML: PSMN015-100B.118, now modified to OBS-PSMN015-100B.118, but in fact, it has already been labeled on the material tray in the factory. The information on the label is PSMN015-100B.118, but the information on the system is OBS-PSMN015-100B.118, which causes the actual materials in the system not to match, thus the Traceability system will pop up the AML alarm.

[Yes]: To control the oracle obsoleted AML.The system will general/add a new AML MPN:  AML MPN Prefix + original AML MPN.  If one of the new AML MPNs and the original AML MPNs matched, the system would not pop up the AML alarm.

[No]: Do not control the oracle obsoleted AML. The system will only check the original AML MPN.  If the original AML MPN is not matched, the system would pop up the AML alarm.

• Obsoleted AML MPN Prefix: This parameter defines the prefix of the original AML MPN, obsoleted AML MPN Prefix + Original AML MPN is the obsolete AML MPN.

This Setting is used at theShop Floor Control > Production Control > Incoming Traceability > Material labeling module for Accept Property drop-down list (see figure below).

Figure 35: Accept Property Drop-down list

 

1. Navigator to Administrator > Traceability Administrator > Accept Prompt Settings.

Figure 36: Accept Prompt Setting  Main page

2. Select Add

Figure 37: Add a new Accept Property Setting

3. Enter the Accept Property Name, Allow Load Component, Status

• Accept Property Name: The name of the accepted property, this name will show at the Accept Property drop-down list for material labeling page.
• Allow Load Component: To define the system allows to load the material or not at the load material module if the material is set this Accept property.

Yes: Allow loading this material.

No: Not allowed to load this material.

For example, some plants set the Accept property name to Rejected, set the Allow Load Component to Yes, print one label: E76-M001 selecting the Accept Property drop-down list to Rejected, material barcode: E76-M001 can be loaded at the load material module.

For some reason, One plant set the Accept property Rejected(Name), Allow Load Component to No, then print another label: E76-M002. material barcode: E76-M002 can not be loaded at the load material module.

 

• Status: To set the status(Enabled/disabled) of the Accept property setting. If this setting is enabled, it will show at the Accept Property drop-down list, if is disabled, will not show at the Accept Property drop-down list.

4. Select Save to create a new Accept Property for the material.
5. Or double click on the selected Accept Property name, change the fields, select Save to edit the Accept Property setting.

Indirect Material Control

Background

 

In certain plants, indirect material is not managed in Oracle BOM. In order to track indirect material, engineers must add those indirect materials into the BOM through Deviation Note in the Traceability. This procedure is repeated after publishing each new version of BOM ECN. The plants believe this process is not convenient and too time-consuming.

 

Design Proposal

 

Indirect material config modules allow users to add/delete the indirect material information with an effective date and expiration date. The system will check if the indirect material is active or not, then add or remove the indirect material information into/from the BOM automatically, eliminating the need to create one BOM ECN. After the indirect materials are added into Traceability BOM, they can be tracked by the Traceability system as direct materials.

 

Figure 35: Solution for Indirect material

 

 

 

 Indirect Material Control

 

1. Go to: Traceability Administration > Indirect Material Configuration.

 

Figure 45: Indirect Material Config list main page

 

In Indirect Material Config portlet , users may create a new indirect material config and delete an existing indirect material config.

 

2. Select Create to open the Create Indirect Material Config page.

 

Figure 46: Create Indirect Material Config.

 

• Model P/N: Production Part Number. The Model P/N cannot be blank and must be preconfigured in the Traceability System.
• Designator: Define the Designator/station where the indirect material will be loaded.
• Material P/N: The material Part Number for the indirect material.
• Quantity: The quantity of the received indirect material, the default value is 1.
• Effective Date: The effective date that to Syn this indirect material to Traceability BOM, Default is the current date.
• Expire Date: The expiration date of the indirect material. If the expiration date is earlier than the Date that PrintQ to Syn Bom into Traceability process, the indirect material cannot be added to the BOM.

1. Reset: To clear the fields to blank.
2. Save: Fill in all the requested values, Click the Save button to submit the indirect material information to the Traceability system. The Create Indirect Material Config page will close.
3. Save & More: Fill in all the requested values, Click the Save button to submit the first set of indirect material information to the Traceability system. The page remains open and all fields in the page will be cleared to blank. Users may now add another indirect material config.

Note: The related field verification when submitting is similar to the previous functional interface. The default for Quantity is 1, for Effective Date the current system date, while the Expire Date may be left empty, i.e. processing is not controlled by Expire Date.

The Indirect material config can’t be duplicated.

 

Figure 47 : Indirect Material Config can’t be duplicated

Following is the rules to verify if indirect material is active or inactive.

• BOM without related Indirect Material Config, it shouldn't add any Indirect Material P/N to it;
• BOM time < Indirect Material Config Effective time, it shouldn't add the Indirect Material P/N;
• BOM time > Indirect Material Config Expire time, it shouldn't add the Indirect Material P/N;
• BOM time >= Indirect Material Config Effective time & Expire Date is null, it should add the Indirect Material P/N to the Traceability BOM;
• Indirect Material Config Effective time <= BOM time < Expire Date, it should add the Indirect Material P/N to Traceability BOM;

Note: BOM time= The time that PrintQ interfaces to Syn the Bom information from ERP to Traceability database.

For example, The following indirect material information is already configured and active. Once approved, the information will be automatically added into BOM by Traceability system .

Users can then track the indirect material normally at the load material process.

IC Part Number Mapping

At some plants, a certain number of ICs require programming prior to surface mounting. For the same IC, some product models require the programming to be burned before mounting, while others require programming after mounting. The ICs have different Sanmina P/Ns before and after programming (Before programming - P/N:A, with IQC PASSED label; after programming - new P/N: B, without IQC, PASSED label as plant don't print new label after programmed the IC, the operator manually writes the new part number on the existing IQC label). This means that the same IC would exhibit two different statuses during WIP, while the IQC PASSED labels would remain the same. During SMT loading, Traceability cannot recognize whether or not the material has been programmed. In the case that the incorrect material is loaded (e.g. if unprogrammed material is loaded instead of the expected programmed material), it would cause a bulk rework. Therefore, Traceability must be equipped with setup recognition and binding functions (differing P/N pre- and post-programming), enabling Traceability to automatically report an error when a loading error occurs.

IC Part Number Mapping is used to make a connection for the Part Number between the Raw IC Part number(before programming) and the Programmed IC part number.

 

1. Navigator to Administration > Traceability Administration > IC Part Number Mapping.

Figure 51: IC Part Number Mapping Main Page

 

2. Select Create to add a new mapping.

Figure 52: Create a New IC P/N mapping

• Model P/N: The Production Part Number.
• Raw IC P/N: The Raw Part number for the IC, it’s always printed by the warehouse which save into the Oracle ERP system.
• Programmed IC P/N: The Part Number after the programming process for the IC.
• Effective Date: The effective date for the PrintQ to sync this Programmed IC P/N into the Traceability Database. Set the current date by default.
• Expire Date: The expire date for the PrintQ to sync this Programmed IC P/N into the Traceability Database.
• Input the fields, select Save to add a new mapping.
• Or select Save & More to save the mapping and clear all fields to add more mappings.
• Select one existing mapping and click Delete to remove the mapping.
