Unquality event codes are the foundation of the UET system. The system is initialized with over 400 codes, each of which identifies an unquality event. The information stored in the table for each unquality event code indicates the associated category, type, automatic group code, and cost. For more information, see UET Code Maintenance Overview.
Use the UET Code Maintenance window to create or edit unquality event codes.
To create a UET code:
From the Events > Unquality Event Tracking menu, select UET Code Maintenance to display the UET Code Maintenance window.
In the Code field, on the blank line at the bottom of the table, enter an event code. This entry is free-form.
In the Type field, select the 2-character type code to group the new code with related events.
Type codes are used to group related events, for example, SH for Shipping related events. To view the codes and their descriptions, select Edit > Type Maintenance.
In the Description field, enter a brief description that helps identify the event code during manual entry and when creating reports.
In the Auto Group field, select a group code to assign this event code to an automatic group code.
If automatic event tracking is enabled and you enter a transaction that generates an unquality event, the system automatically creates an unquality event log entry under this group code.
In the PC field, select the check box to allow unquality records with this event code to be downloaded.
In the Cost field, assign an amount, in dollars, to this unquality event code to assign an event correction cost.
Use the cost to reflect your actual operating expenses to correct the faulty processes detected by the specific UET codes. You can use this feature to determine the actual cost to correct an unquality event in the business process and its effect on the bottom-line profit.
In the Auto Log field, indicate whether to enable automatic logging for the event.
Yes - Enables automatic logging for this code if the Auto UET Enabled control maintenance record is set to Yes.
No - Disables automatic logging for this code. The code is still available for manual entry.
RF - Enables automatic logging for this code from RF Warehouse processes if the Auto UET Enabled control maintenance record is set to Yes.
In the Required Entry field, select the fields on the UET Log Entry window required to manually enter an event code. Use the Multiple button to enter more than one required field for the event code.
