FOLLOWGRB - Track E/C Through GRB (Goods Received Batch)

Track E/C Through GRB (Goods Received Batch)

Affected Window: w_engineering_eu

Note: The following three configuration work in conjunction: Inventory switch FOLLOWGRB, the Follow GRB checkbox in the Engineering Control P/N window, and Engineering switch PNSNCHG/EFFECTIVITY. For more detailed information on how these various configurations affect P/N E/C Effectivity, refer to P/N Change Transactions.

Switch Set to Yes:

When set to Yes, the Follow GRB checkbox will be available for selection via the E/C Category Transaction Code. Once selected via the Transaction Code, the Follow GRB checkbox will be available and selected by default on the Engineering Control P/N window. The system will continue to track the E/C for that GRB regardless of any changes made to any P/N S/N that is effective to the E/C including any Override schedules. This works for One Way Forward and Both Way Interchangeable P/Ns.

This checkbox functions accordingly for the following transactions:

• P/N S/N Change (Inventory Transaction)
• P/N S/N Change (Inventory Supervisor)
• P/N Receiving (Repair Orders only)
• Receiving Inspection
• P/N Modify To (via Engineering Control P/N window)
• P/N N/L/A Creation

Also, when set to Yes, the Load At Receiving checkbox will be available for selection via the E/C Category Transaction Code.

Note: The functionality of the Load At Receiving checkbox (via the Engineering Control P/N window) is not new in TRAX Version 11.5. Only the option to have the checkbox selected by default is new. For additional information, refer to the P/N CTL (Control) Button, via the Engineering - E/C Training manual.

Example 1: P/N S/N Change transaction (Inventory Transaction)

The Follow GRB checkbox has been selected for the AD Category Code.

Notice that the Load At Receiving checkbox is also available.

The following E/C was created with E/C Category Code AD:

From the Engineering Control P/N window, the Follow GRB checkbox is selected by default.

Note the schedule for the E/C:

A P/N S/N Change transaction is done for P/N 195680-A. This is the P/N effective to the above E/C.

The PN\SN-CHG transaction is reflected from the Transaction History tab.

The new P/N has been made effective to the E/C and the schedule of the E/C.

The new P/N is also added to the list of effective P/Ns in the Engineering Effectivity Override window.

Example 2: Transfer Override Schedule

The following P/N is a Main P/N.

P/N 5A3307-A1 is a Both Way Interchangeable to the Main P/N.

The Main P/N is a One Way Interchangeable to P/N 5A3307-B.

The following E/C was created with E/C Category Code AD:

Note the schedule for the E/C:

From the Engineering Control P/N window, the Follow GRB checkbox is selected by default.

The following Override schedule is applied to the Main P/N S/N.

A P/N S/N Change transaction is done for the Main P/N 5A3307-A. This is the P/N effective to E/C 021-009-634.

The One Way Forward P/N S/N has acquired the Override schedule from the Main P/N S/N.

The Override Schedule is reflected correctly for the One Way Forward.

Note: This functionality also works for Both Way Interchangeable parts.

Switch Set to No:

The Follow GRB checkbox and the Load At Receiving checkbox are not available for selection via the E/C Category Transaction Code.

The following E/C was created with E/C Category Code AD:

The Follow GRB checkbox is not available via the Engineering Control P/N window for the following P/N E/C.

A P/N S/N Change transaction is done for P/N 195680-A. This is the P/N E/C effective to E/C 008-768-009.

The new P/N is not made effective to the E/C.
