Material(s) Selection for Traceability in EZ-Picklist

Figure 4: Material(s) Selection Option in EZ-Picklist

• Select the 1st production side and/or 2nd production side (as per picklist setup for production environment):

• In case the selected picklist is intended for a double-sided board which have one or multiple common materials in both sides,

refer to green-framed items in below figure, there are 2 items of the same Part Number in the picklist, which means, this is a

double-sided board, side 1 and side 2 have one common material.

• To make no confusion during the production for such boards, we need to configurate which item needs to be used in which

side. As common material items share the same part number but match with different board numbers,  we can simply

match board numbers with sides to realize the configuration of items to sides.

Figure 5: Double sided board with the same material handled in the same station

• Click on 1st Side or 2nd side option in this instance, a dialog box like below will prompt:

Figure 6: Board number confirmation

• This dialog box allows user to perform board-number-to-side mapping for common material(s). There will be 3 options

available in the drop-down list, refer to below figure:

• Board Number Goup 1:  Board numbers of one side, auto detected and grouped by system.  For normal panel

production(with all boards up or down), user can select this one.

• Board Number Group 2: Board numbers of the other side, auto detected and grouped by sytem. For normal panel

production(with all boards up or down), user can select this one.

• All Boards:  With all board numbers included, that is to say,  boar number group 1 plus board number group 2.

This option is designated for mirror-board production, with some boards up and some boards down and all are populated at

the same time.

• Simply select an option as per actual production and click on OK to confirm. Take note that board numbers for the other side

will therefore be confirm and no further confirmation needed once one is done.

• In case the selected picklist is for single-sided board, no confirmation is needed and system will simply check materials for

the selected side as per default configuration.

• Select the High Value option, Lead Free option checkbox associated to each individual material part number if required.

Generate Loading List

Figure 9: Loading List Option in EZ-Picklist

1. Click “Loading List” button to send the picklist to default path: C:\pts\loadinglist\ (Windows); /temp/loadinglist (Linux) .

Note: 

• Default path for Loading List report is customizable. Local plant can simply contact PTS team to do the

customization.  

• There are two available templates for Loading List report, refer to below Template 1 and Template 2. Template 1 is the

default one, local plant can also contact PTS team to switch to Template 2.

Figure 10: Available Loading List templates

Template 1(Default)	Template 2(Adding Nozzle Info)

Please be noted that this Surface Mount Devices (SMD) Loading List cannot be used as a control document without stamp/sign

by authorized personnel defined by plant such as SMT production line supervisor/team leader. This is designed to be used for

materials loading reference only.

Figure 11: Confirm the Loading List Successfully Generated

1. After the Loading list is generated successfully, message prompt “Complete” will display as shown in Figure 8.
2. Click “Confirm” button to confirm.

SMT Comparison

This module is designed to compare standard SMT program and current SMT program, which makes it easy for user to find out

the differences between two programs and eases the operation.

SelectSMT Comparison from the main menu of PTS Web, a window shows up, refer to below figure:

All available SMT machines are shown in tabs and there are two grids displayed under each tab for user to make comparison

the programs of the selected machine type:

• Select correct machine tab.
• Click Standard SMT button, system will pop up one dialogue box asking user to select one file (make sure the file user

selected matches with machine type)

• Then click Current SMT button, select current SMT program for comparison.
• After both program selected, system will compare them and show differences to user. Refer to below figure:
  

• As above shown, the modified value is marked with red in Current SMT table.Corresponding checkbox for the item will be

ticked automatically.

• Designator:  List out designators that has been modified.
  
• Modified: Display original data and new data. (E.g. X_Axis: -69.93/-69.9, ‘-69.93’ is original data, ‘-69.9’ is new data.)
  
• Click Comparison Report button, a report will be generated under C:\pts \report to log what has been changed .

SMT-BOM Comparison

This function is used to compare picklist whether existing in BOM file.

Select SMT & BOM Comparison from the main menu of PTS Web, a window shows up, refer to below picture:

• Click SMT File button, system will pop up one dialogue box asking user to select appointed Ezpicklist file.
• Input correct BOM part number into BOM P/N text box, then press Enter key.
• Select correct ECN number from pull down list.
• Click Check BOM button. If there is any error record in BOM file, the error message will show in the table right below, refer to

below picture:

• Click on Report button, an EZpicklist excel file will be automatically genterated and saved under the default path:

C:\pts\report.

Show BOM

This module allows user to view BOM, disable BOM or enable BOM.

Select Show BOM from the main menu of PTS Web, below picture shows up:

• All BOM P/N(ECN) in the system are listing out in pages.
• User can search a BOM by BOM P/N or BOM ECN, and/or by Active or Disabled.
• Right click one selected item, a menu will be shown(refer to above figure):

• Disable: Allow user to disable the selected BOM P/N or BOM ECN.

(Note: on online ECN can't be disabled and system will prompt a warning message accordingly)

To enable a disabled BOM, user can:

1. Search the BOM by Disabled and click on Go button, all disabled BOM will be displayed;

2. Right click on target BOM and select Enable.

• Deviation: This option redirects to Deviation Note Report page and allows user to add or review the deviation records.
• Show BOM: This option allows user to view all existing items under the selected BOM. Refer to below figure:
  

1. Click Send button, system will redirect to File Archive page which allows user to export the BOM.

2. Cancel takes user back to previous page.

Compare BOM and Picklist

This module is designed to verify if designators in BOM are consistant with the ones in SMT program and list out the

differences.

Select Compare BOM and Picklist from the main menu of PTS Web:

Currently, system provides two methods to search comparison results. Search by Line Name or Picklist Name. Details are

explored below:

Search By Line Name

• Input Line Name
• Input BOM number into BOM textbox
• Select correct BOM ECN from BOM ECN drop-down list.
• Click Check button. The results will be shown on the right. Above figure is an example of unmatched results.
• If BOM match with Picklist, screen will show as the following.
  

Note: Pay attention to Compare Part Number check box. This option is meaningless if user choose to search by Line

Name.

Search By Picklist Name

• Select and input Picklist Name
  
• Input BOM number in the BOM textbox
• Select a correct BOM ECN from the drop-down list
• Click on Check button.

Note: Pay attention to the Compare Part Number check box here, the result shown on the right will be of slight

difference with this option checked and unchecked. Refer to below figures:

Compare Part Number Checked	Compare Part Number Unchecked
