Workbenches-Integrated CAC Data Retrieval
The integrated CAC data retrieval runs in a background thread to make the MSW/PSW search data retrieval complete faster. In addition, to minimize the performance impacts of the integrated CAC data retrieval, there are several user preference options within the Component Availability window of the preferences. You selection Options, then Settings, then Component Availability to:
• Disable the CAC calculation by selecting None for the Computation Method in the CAC user preferences. When CAC is enabled, the search and save processes run CAC calculations and functions for all items the system retrieves into the workbenches when you search for records or when you save workbenches changes.
• Select Dynamic as the Computation Method in the CAC user preferences. Selecting Dynamic provides on-demand CAC calculations for only the items you select on the workbenches. When you modify a production order for a selected item and save changes, the system clears the CAC statuses for all prior work orders and items selected. Then, it recalculates the CAC statuses for the items and orders that you are currently focused on.
• Minimize the number of MRP detail records the system processes.
You can set the CAC Horizon field. To decide on a value for this field, consider the interval of time from today into the future for CAC purposes. For example, you may be interested only in the data within the time fence number of days into the future.
• Decide which component items should be included or excluded.
You can select the Components Included component check boxes as needed. For example, you may be interested only in non-floor stock items.
Note: These settings do not pertain to the QAD EE CAC browse collections, such as Monitor Material Shortages, Release Production Order By Production Line, and so on.
