Settings button

Global options in NPI affect how users interact with FactoryLogix features and functions and control all aspects of the system. Global option settings combined with user roles and permissions allow different types of access to all areas of the FactoryLogix system. Administrators access FactoryLogix global settings in the Settings area of the NPI client application.

 

Note

Only a member of the Administrator group can configure default values for global options.

BOM Publishing Synchronization

Note

You can set each of the following options to do one of the following: Never Override (never synchronize), Always Override (always synchronize), Update Missing Information Only (only update missing part number information), Prompt User (Side-by Side Comparison) (prompt users to compare part numbers and synchronize manually before publishing).


The following options are used when publishing a BOM:

  • Internal Part Number (IPN) Synchronization - Determines Internal part number synchronization process during BOM publishing.

  • Customer Part Number (CPN) Synchronization - Determines Customer part number synchronization process during BOM publishing.

  • Vendor Part Number (VPN) Synchronization - Determines Vendor part number synchronization process during BOM publishing.

  • Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) Synchronization - Determines Manufacturer part number synchronization process during BOM publishing.

  • Internal Part Number (IPN) Relationship Synchronization - Determines Internal part number relationship synchronization process during BOM publishing.

  • AVL Strategy

    • Maintains a global Approved Vendor List (AVL) for each part number (IPN). The supplied AVL is used for part matching only. Users must enable the Automatically merge AVLs from imported BOMs option to add imported AVLs to the global AVL.

    • Maintains a BOM-level AVL for each part number (IPN). An AVL is created against the BOM line item associated with each part number.

  • Automatically merge AVLs from Imported BOMs - When set to True, merges all imported AVLs with the existing global AVL. (The global AVL consists of all IPN-VPN relationships in the Part Library.)

  • AML Strategy

    • Maintains a global Part Library Approved Manufacturer List (AML) for each part number (IPN). The supplied AML is used for part matching only. Users must enable the Automatically merge AMLs from imported BOMs option to add imported AMLs to the global AML.

    • Maintains a BOM-level AML for each part number (IPN). An AML is created against the BOM line item associated to each part number.

  • Automatically merge AMLs from Imported BOMs - When set to True, merges all imported AMLs with the existing global AML. (The Global AML consists of all IPN-MPN relationships in the Part Library.)

  • Alternate IPN Strategy

    • Maintains a global Part Library Alternate IPN for each part number (IPN). When enabled, all imported Alt IPNs are merged with the existing global Alt IPNs. (The global Alt IPN is the IPN-Alt IPN relationship in the Part Library.)

    • Maintains a BOM-level Alt IPN for each part number (IPN). An Alt IPN is created against the BOM line item associated with each part number.

Process Import

Part Library

  • Import Part Attribute Definitions - When set to True, part attributes are updated according to the Internal Part Number (IPN) Synchronization global option. When set to False, all part attributes are ignored. 

  • Import Part Library Custom Fields - When set to True, the custom fields are updated according to the respective Part Library synchronization global options. When set to False, all Part Library custom fields are ignored. 

Process Import

Process Mappings

  • Allow Operation Mapping - When set to True, allows users to select a process template and map imported operations to operations in the process template. Operation names are replaced with the names from the template.

Process Import

Process Import Options

  • Do not include JIT Process Flows during import - When set to True, JIT process flows will not be included during the importing of a process.
