If your charge element import will include operations with quantities, the Disable Qty Updates setting can be used to prevent the quantity values in Shop Floor Time from being overwritten by the values you are importing.
This setting is added to the Operation context of your Import Definition using the Record Value Map tab. It affects only the Quantity Available, Quantity Complete, and Quantity Scrapped.
If Disable Qty Updates is set to Y and the Operation being imported already exists in Shop Floor Time, the Operation’s quantities in Shop Floor Time will not be updated.
If Disable Qty Updates is set to Y and the Operation being imported does not yet exist in Shop Floor Time, the Operation and its quantities will be inserted into the Shop Floor Time database.
If Disable Qty Updates is set to N or this setting is not used, and the Operation being imported already exists in Shop Floor Time, the Operation’s quantities will be updated in Shop Floor Time.
The steps below explain how to add the Disable Qty Updates setting to your Import Definition.
Click Main Menu > Configuration > Interfaces > Import Definition, and select your charge element Import Definition.
On the Destination Records tab, select the Operation Context Name.
On the Record Value Map tab, click Add.
For the Field Name, select Disable Qty Updates – FI_DISABLE_QTY_UPDATES.
Set the Field Value Type to Static and in the Field Value box, enter Y. If you set this value to N, and the Operation being imported already exists in Shop Floor Time, the Operation’s quantities will be updated in Shop Floor Time.
Click Save.
