SAP DM POD - Quantity Field

[erbsha]

Hello Experts,

I have a question regarding the quantity field in SAP DM POD. The field is a part of the sfc card plugin.

I’m looking for a solution to set-up the field as mandatory or something like that.

For Example:

• The qty field is prefilled with a specific value.
• The qty field is mandatory
• A production process to check the field and show a pop-up
• …

Thanks in advance,

Hannes

Hello Hannes,

In POD Selection plugins, you can set a "Default Quantity" that will pre populate the Quantity field on POD load.

This Quantity is then used by SFC Card and other plugins like Start/Complete.

Also in POD Selection plugins, you can check "Enable Views".

With Views enabled, you can fill in POD Selection filters including Quantity field, save a view and make that a Default view, so everytime the POD loads it will take the default view and load quantity field accordingly.

Finally, also in POD Selection plugins, you can mark Quantity field as required using "Quantity Enforcement" config.

See attachments below.

Hope it helps,

Manoel

Hello Manoel,

thank you for the detailed description.

It's a partial solution for our use case.
I would be great if the SFC Card have the same settings as the POD Selection.
Especially the "Quantity Enforcement".

Best regards,

Hannes

Hi Hannes,

You can always create new or extend existing plugins, see https://help.sap.com/docs/sap-digital-manufacturing?task=develop_task

Hello Experts,

we found a workable solution with a production process.

We use the production process "Check_Uncollected_Parameters" and defined the "inQTY" as Double. After that we addedt the PP to the "Complete" Button in the POD and also set the Parameter "inQTY". If the worker use the "Complete" Button, the PP check the QTY. If the QTY is zero or empty a message appears.

Best regards,

Hannes

Hi Hannes,

I had mentioned that you can use this service to only set the "SFC quantity" and not the "quantity" field. I believe you want the quantity field to be prefilled. Again, as i said it depends on your use case. if your use case is to edit the SFC quantity you can use this service as ultimately quantity field is used to edit the SFC quantity. Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi Hannes,

You can use the "Set SFC quantity" service to set the SFC quantity but i dont think this can be used to prefill the quantity field. You can decide based on your use case.

Hi Mahalakshmi,

i found the Set SFC quantity. I will try it. Otherwise i will configure a prodcution process to ensure that a value is set.

Thank you and best regards,

Hi Mahalakshmi,

the Set SFC quantity dosen't work for our use case.

You have written:

"A production process can be added to ensure value is set to this quantity field. it all depends on your use case"

How can i ensure with a production process that the value is set in the quantity field?

Do you have a example?

Thank you,
Hannes

Hi Hannes,

Yes, you can set the quantity field to be "displayed" "editable" and set a qty different from sfc qty. A production process can be added to ensure value is set to this quantity field. it all depends on your use case.

Thanks

Hello Mahalakshmi,

i already have set-up the quantity field:

• Quantity Displayed: On
• Quantity Editable: On

I would like to prefill the field or set it mandatory.

But the production process can be a good solution. Do you know if there is a standard process available?

Thank you,
Hannes
