The Silverdale Installation Instructions & Warnings on Component Consumption feature strengthens shop floor quality and safety by surfacing critical product-specific messages during production. This ensures operators are informed of any special installation steps or cautionary notices at the moment they consume components in a Manufacturing Order (MO).
What It Does
This feature introduces new fields on the Product form:
- Installation Instructions: Detailed instructions visible to the shop floor worker during MO execution.
- Warning Type: Choose between:
- No Message
- Warning Message (informational)
- Blocking Message (requires user acknowledgment to proceed)
- Warning Text: The custom message that is displayed during component consumption.
How It Works
When a product is used as a component in a Manufacturing Order:
- The system checks if the product has installation instructions or warnings.
- If a Warning Message is set, a popup appears when the component is consumed.
- If a Blocking Message is set, the user must confirm the warning to proceed.
- Instructions appear inline or via popup in the Work Order or Component Consumption screen.
User Steps
- Go to Inventory > Products and open any product used in MOs.
- In a new section labeled Manufacturing Instructions, add:
- Installation Instructions (rich text or plain)
- Warning Type (None / Warning / Blocking)
- Warning Text
- Create a Manufacturing Order that includes this product as a component.
- Launch the Work Order from the Shopfloor or MO screen.
- When the user attempts to consume the component:
- The instruction or warning is displayed.
- If blocking, the message must be acknowledged before continuing.
