When you create a new defect in the Production client application, the Add Defect dialog gives you the option to collect the defect three ways: By Reference, By Part Number, or By Assembly. When you select By Reference or By Part Number, an additional Alternate Part Number drop-down displays.

Add Defect dialog

Defect collection method

Description

By Reference

When you select By Reference, a drop-down list of all locations on the BOM (Bill Of Material) is shown. When you select OK, a single defect is recorded against the identified location within the unit.


Alternate part number options

When you select By Reference, an Alternate Part Number drop-down showing all alternate part numbers for that location is shown. Alternate part numbers are determined as follows:

  • If the Alternate IPN Strategy global setting value is set to Maintain a Global Alternate IPN for Each Part Number, the drop-down includes the alternate part numbers for the part number revision as determined by the Revision Mode specified in the BOM (as specified in the global Part Library).

  • If the Alternate IPN Strategy global setting value is set to Maintain a BOM Level Alternate IPN for Each Part Number, the drop-down includes the alternate part numbers as specified for the BOM line item for the identified location.

Note
See FactoryLogix global options for more information about changing global settings.

By Part Number

When you select By Part Number, a drop-down list of all primary part numbers in the BOM (Bill Of Material) is shown. When you select OK in the dialog, a separate defect is recorded against each location within the unit where that part number is identified in the BOM as the primary part number.

Alternate part number options

When you select By Part Number, an Alternate Part Number drop-down showing all alternate part numbers for that part number is shown. Alternate part numbers are determined as follows:

  • If the Alternate IPN Strategy global setting value is set to Maintain a Global Alternate IPN for Each Part Number, the drop-down includes the alternate part numbers for the part number identified as specified in the global part library.

  • If the Alternate IPN Strategy global setting value is set to Maintain a BOM Level Alternate IPN for Each Part Number, the drop-down includes the alternate part numbers as specified for the first BOM line item found where the primary part number on the BOM line item is the identified Part Number.

    These defects are recorded against locations per the BOM and not with reference to any placement (Trace) information that may have been recorded.

Note

See FactoryLogix global options for more information about changing global settings.

Note

This solution assumes that in the situation where a part number is defined on more than one BOM Line Item that each BOM Line Item with the part number has the same list of alternate part numbers.

  • If the global setting is set to Maintain a Global Alternate IPN for Each Part Number, the permitted part numbers for a BOM line item include:

    • The revision of the part number identified in the BOM Line Item

    • Any other revisions of the part number identified in the BOM Line Item as allowed by the Revision Mode

    • The alternate part numbers listed in the global Part Library for the revisions of the part number identified in the BOM Line Item
