The Return Materials window is where operators can get information about materials that are required to be moved back to stock and materials that can stay on the shop floor.
- Log into the Production client application.
- Select the Advanced Features button
(the gear) at the top of the window, then select the Materials to Return button. - Use the Location drop-down to select the factory locations where you want to search for potential materials to be returned to stock:
- Factory
- Workstation Clusters
- Workstations
- You can specify a UID for filtering or decide to not filter by UID.
On the left side of the window, you can see the locations with information about a batch sorted by workstation (cluster) with the planned start and end times. - Select an entry to display a list of materials on the right side of the window. The list of materials has following information:
- Status of UID
- Part Number
- UID
- Description
- Quantity
- Unit of Issue
You can clearly see by the status of UIDs if the materials need to be returned to stock and quickly react to the current situation on the shop floor.
