Editing a Material in a Work Center
To edit a material, complete the following steps:
2. Click Edit to open the edit page.
3. You can edit the Production Block Duration and the Ideal Cycle Time (seconds/material) for the material.
◦ Update the specified Production Block Duration. You can update the duration to a maximum of 23 hours and 59 minutes, and a minimum of 2 minutes. To use the production block duration for the work center, select the checkbox.
◦ When the
Best Demonstrated Speed (seconds/material) value is faster than the
Ideal Cycle Time (seconds/material) value, an alert (
![Alert icon. Alert icon.](../../../dpm/images/yellow_triangle_exclamation_icon.png)
) is displayed next to the
Ideal Cycle Time (seconds/material) field in this window.
| The displayed values for the ideal cycle time and best demonstrated speed are rounded off to a single decimal place. The calculation comparing the two values considers the complete value. For example, both a best demonstrated speed of 17.389 and an ideal cycle time of 17.401 display as 17.4, but the alert ( ![Alert icon. Alert icon.](../../../dpm/images/yellow_triangle_exclamation_icon.png) ) displays because the best demonstrated speed of 17.389 is faster than the ideal cycle time of 17.401. |
| Existing job orders for this material on this work center are not updated with the new ideal cycle time. If you want job orders that have not yet started production (in the Pending or Dispatched states) to use the updated ideal cycle time, cancel the existing job orders and create new ones. The new job orders will reflect the updated ideal cycle time for the material. Job orders that have already completed or are in production (in the Running or Held states) correctly use the previous ideal cycle time. |
4. Click Save. A success message confirms that the changes have been saved.
