Important To use quarantine/blocking features, your process definition in NPI must include a quarantine reroute operation to handle all quarantined/blocked items. To learn more about reroute operations, see Out of route operations and reroutes. |
Log into the NPI client application.
Select System Configuration
> Settings.Select the General category (Option Type: Assembly Blocking Options).
Specify the default global settings for quarantining/blocking units or materials (you must have Administrator rights to modify global options):
Allow Operator to Choose Blocking Mode - When set to True, operators can choose between Block, Quarantine, and Quarantine Then Block when blocking items in the inventory management area. When set to False, the Default Behavior option is used and operators are not given a choice.
Default Quarantine Operation Name - Specifies the name of an out of route (quarantine) operation that units will be routed to when being quarantined/blocked. (Use this option in conjunction with the Quarantine or Quarantine then Block Default Behavior options.)
Default Behavior
Block - Standard FactoryLogix blocking prevents unit from being used immediately or transacted in Production.
Quarantine - The unit is rerouted to a designated out of route quarantine operation where it is started and paused, preventing any further in-route transactions. (Use in conjunction with the Default Quarantine Operation Name option.)
Quarantine then Block - After routing a unit to a quarantine operation, the unit is also blocked.
