They are times when you will need to “un-cut” material that has changed. You can do a Reverse TFS.
- Open the Production Control job and click on the Production Control pull-down menu > Review > TFS Details. Filter on the mark.
- Highlight the mark and click on the Reverse TFS button in the lower right.You will be prompted to verify the action.
- You will then be prompted to return the cut length to Inventory to be used later. Next you will be prompted for the quantity to be reversed.
- If you chose to return the cut length to Inventory the material will show in INV, reserved for that job and with the Reference Number assigned to the mark. You can manually clear these fields in the Inventory module.
- Close the TFS Details window and from the PDC job click the Production Control pull-down menu > Purchasing > Link Job. Filter on the mark.
- When prompted, Load Remaining Material Into: Requisition. From there you can combine or buy the material.
Note: If the material has been physically cut in the real world, you should not RTS. See Modeling Modifications/Refabricating of Items In Shop/Field for PowerFab eXchange (PFX)
