  • Configuration of Produmex PDC

In order to use a module on terminals, enable it on the Thin client 2 tab of Produmex Manufacturing Settings. Every enabled module is displayed on the Main Menu.

The only exception is the ‘Simple Job’ module because it is terminal dependent and assigned for one work center only per terminal. To enable it, open the PDC Terminal Configuration UDT via: Tools > User Defined Windows.

On this form terminal configurations can be specified. Add the terminal ID and define the work center. Only work centers with extended configurations (defined with the PDC Extended Configuration UDT) can be added. Set the ‘Simple Job Completion’ option to ‘Yes’.

It is possible to set the terminal only for Simple Job mode by enabling the ‘Simple Job Completion Only’ option too. In this case the system automatically proceeds to the login screen of the module and skips the main menu screen.

The following employee roles can be defined for PDC:

• Approver role: Employees appointed as an approver can approve PDC bookings of sticky/ delicate materials or products.
• Quality Control Role: Employees appointed as quality control inspector are authorized to conduct quality inspection.
• Workshop Monitor Role: Employees appointed to the workshop monitor role are authorized to use the workshop monitor.
• Workcenter Admin role: Employees appointed as work center admins can modify and close work center journals and work center tickets.

First create a role in SAP Business One. Open the Employee Master Data and on the ‘Membership’ tab select the ‘Define new’ option on the Role grid.

Add the new role to the employee you would like to appoint. An employee can have more than one roles.

On the Thin Client 2 tab of Produmex Manufacturing Settings add the role name to the corresponding employee role.

Enable the approval for the product or a material in the Item Master Data. Set the ‘NeedsPDC Approval’ UDF field to ‘Yes’. If it is enabled for a product/material, operations producing/consuming that item must be approved by an employee appointed as ‘Approver’. For more information about the approval process please see: 2.2.10. Approval of PDC Bookings

The Produmex PDC module uses the date and time settings of the company database.

It is possible that the company time differs from the server time. If the ‘Manage Company Time’ checkbox is enabled on the Display tab of General settings, the time zone of the company can be set on the Time Zone tab of General Settings.

The Produmex PDC module only considers the daylight saving time if the ‘Daylight Saving Time’ checkbox is enabled for the company.
