CONFIGURATION - Machines

Machines are assigned to Transactions by either scanning the Machine barcode or choosing the Machine from a dropdown menu during computer entry of a Request or Transaction. Machine data can be used to create machine specific part lists.

BEST PRACTICE: Create a generic machine to use as a default (e.g. "N/A"), even if transactions are not assigned to "machines" in your organization. Users are not required to scan a "Machine" barcode when using SecuraStock. However, "Machine" is a required field

when the data entry function is used for Requests. Since

the field is required, a generic machine meets this need.

Machines Fields

Machine No Required The alphanumeric code used to designate a particular Machine.

Description Enter additional descriptive information about the Machine to guide users to the correct Machine choice.

Location Where the Machine is located. For example: a building number, department, floor, room, etc.

Type Used to classify Machines into groups. For example: Grinders, Presses, Tow Motors, etc.

Charge No Used if charges for Machines are reported a specific charge number or cost center.

Y – The Machine is active (default)

Active Required

N – The Machine is longer being used

Change this field to "N" for inactive Machines. DO NOT DELETE Machines.

Barcode Labels

For Jobs and Machines, the Barcode Labels are not used for "labels". Instead, these barcodes are designed to be print- ed on 8 X x 11" page and kept within the associated "Jobs" and "Machines" pockets in the SecuraStock. See the "GEN Barcode Labels" document for more details.
