Set Up Functions to Control
Enable PCC Functions
We are covering three processes:
1 Structure Maintenance
2 Routing Maintenance
3 Item Spec Maintenance
Each process is activated separately.
Enabling PCC makes changes to your database that cannot be reversed.
If your manufacturing process uses Formulas, you need to activate Formula Maintenance (15.22) to create PCRs or PCOs for formula changes. Menu numbers (13.13.22), (14.22), and (19.1.22).
ECO Maintenance
Important: Once PCC has been enabled, you can no longer access ECO Maintenance.
Exercise: Set Up PCC Processes
In this exercise you ensure that PCC is enabled for several processes.
1 Use Enable PCC Product Structure Maintenance (13.13.22) to enable PCC product structure maintenance.
2 Use Enable PCC Routing Maintenance (14.22) to enable PCC routing maintenance.
3 Use Enable PCC Item Spec Maintenance (19.1.22) to enable PCC item spec maintenance.
4 Use Enable PCC Formula Maintenance (15.22) to enable both Formulas and Processes.
Note: Formula and Process changes are optional exercises. However, you must enable Formula Maintenance for PCC if you plan to do any of the optional formula or processing exercises in this training guide.
