On this panel you can maintain or create sequences in the restriction group. Each sequence defines either one specific value or an interval of field type values that should be compared to the corresponding values on the manufacturing order. In order for workload to be planned for a manufacturing order, the specified restriction values must match the values on the manufacturing order parent item or operation.
During the control, the sequence with the lowest number is checked first. If needed, you can specify additional restrictions to be used in conjunction with the first restriction. In that case select value AND in the And/Or field. You can also define several sets of restrictions within the same restriction group. In order to do that, select value OR in the And/Or field for the first sequence in the additional sets. If the criteria defined in the first set of restrictions do not apply to the manufacturing order, the system will automatically pass on to the next set until a match is made.
Note: If none of the defined restrictions match the manufacturing order in question, the work centre may not be used for that order.
- Group
- The code that identifies the workload restriction group.
- Sequence number
- The sequence number indicates what order the restrictions in this restriction group should be compared against the manufacturing order. The sequence with the lowest number will be checked first.
- And/Or
- Optional entry for the first sequence. The value indicates if, and in that case how, this sequence should be related to the other sequences in the group. You have the following options:
- Leave this field blank. This is only valid for the first sequence.
- Enter AND to specify additional restrictions to be used in conjunction with the first restriction. All restriction criteria defined in the restrictions combined through the value AND must be fulfilled in order for workload to be created for the manufacturing order.
- Enter OR to specify another set of restrictions within the group. The sequence defined with value OR will be regarded as the first sequence in the additional set. This additional set will only be used if the criteria defined in the first set of restrictions do not apply to the manufacturing order. If several additional sets are defined, the system will search through the sets in numerical order until a match is made.
- Field type
- This field, in combination with From id and To id, defines what values that should be compared to the corresponding values on the manufacturing order. Depending on the selected field type, values from either the parent item or the operation will be checked.
Type Description 01 Item group 02 Item family 03 Item sector 04 Item category 1 05 Item category 2 06 Item category 3 07 Item category 4 08 Item category 5 09 Item category 6 10 Production technology 11 Tool
- From id
- This field, in combination with Field type and To id, defines what values that should be compared to the corresponding values on the manufacturing order. From the selected field type you can define a specific field value or a value interval:
- To define a specific field value that should be checked, enter a value in this field.
- To define an interval of values that should be checked, enter the first interval value in this field and the last value in the To id field.
Note: The field values must exist in the corresponding table maintenance program for the field type specified in the Field type field.
- To id
- This field, in combination with Field type and From id, defines what values that should be compared to the corresponding values on the manufacturing order. This field is only used when you define a field value interval. Enter a field value belonging to the field type specified in the Field type field indicating the last interval value to be checked in the restriction control.
