During production Part Record(s) that are consumed in a Flow Definition may be faulty/damaged and have to be replaced.
The ability to handle the removal and replacement of Part Record(s) must be integrated into the Consume Part Name-Value. In this example I have already created two Flow Definitions called 'Disassembly Test Flow' and 'Repair Flow'. This example configures the Step 'Assembly Test Step' to perform the Assembly and Disassembly of Part Record(s) using a Consumption NV.
Follow the steps detailed below to configure the Step Definition with a Consumption NV that facilitate both Part assembly and disassembly:
For the NV's Consumption specific parameters define the Flow Definition for disassembly as illustrated below:
The Consumption NV is now configured for a Part assembly and disassembly on a Traveler. The assembly action consumes a Part Record from Inventory and the disassembly action moves a Part Record from the Traveler to a predefined Flow Definition called 'Repair Flow'.
Consume Part in the Traveler
The Traveler consumes a Part Record as illustrated below:
Unconsume Part in the Traveler and Replace
To unconsume/disassemble the Part Record from the Consumption NV we follow the step as illustrated below:
Click OK to remove the Part Record and place it in the predefined Flow Definition 'Repair Flow' or click Cancel to stop the Part Record removal
After the Part Record is removed/disassembled from Step the Consumption NV entry allows for selection of a replacement Part Record as illustrated:
