MC Side Bar feature

Use the MC Side Bars to display additional information for bill of materials items, production ticket entry and confirmation, formula entry, production and confirmation. The Side Bar information varies by program. It is tailored for quick item selection and viewing. This provides details about manufacturing habits for the specified BOM or formula item and information about items in the line item section of MC entry programs to facilitate efficient manufacturing choices. The MC Finished Item Entry (MCE231.F) Side Bar is also available from the FML BCC Detail (POE408) screen in the Buyers Control Center.

Click Show/Hide to toggle the Side Bar display off and on. Select a view from the drop box. For views with drag and drop functionality, click and drag one or multiple lines at a time to the line item section. Click Reload to refresh the contents displayed in the Side Bar area list box. Use the arrows in the lower right corner to scroll through the pages and go to the first and last pages. Scrolling moves through the items loaded into a particular drop box a page at a time.

During line entry, Side Bar research functionality is enabled after the Item field is entered. Limiting, scrolling and double click actions, when available, are also enabled. Drag and Drop during line entry is not allowed.
