Creating an Interface - Setup Tab

  • Order / Batch Relationship

    You can export and import the order / process batch relationship. To import the order / process batch relationship:

    • The order must have an inflow shortage for an end item, that is, the product, and the process batch must have product surplus. The process batch must have an appropriate method that is suitable for connecting to an order.
    • If the imported quantity is larger than the available process batch surplus, the imported quantity is reduced to the available process batch surplus. This operation is not mentioned in the log.
    • Process step sizing constraints, one-to-one constraints, time constraints, and status attributes are not considered during this import. For example, surplus may not be used.
  • Utility Level

    You can export the data points that make up the contents of the utility requirements panel in the planning board view. These fields are available:

    Attribute Type Description
    code STRING[80] Utility code
    date DATE Date for utility requirement value
    model name STRING[80] Model name
    unique key STRING[100]

    Utility code, 80-characters long

    Internal time reference, 20-characters long
