Assign a Material to a Unit

You can assign each material in the Materials database to one or more units defined in the process model. Normally, you make this assignment only for the bulk ingredients and intermediates that are associated with a location. The AVEVA Batch Management System uses the unit assignments to obtain the location of a material during automatic transfer phases.

To assign a material to a unit

1. Open the Materials Status dialog box.

2. Select a material ID.

3. On the Edit menu, click Material Locations.

   The Material Location Assignment Editor dialog box appears.

4. Click Add.

   The Unit Selection dialog box appears.

   

   The Materials Editor uses the contents of the Process Model run-time database. To show the correct list, you might need to perform an Update Runtime command from Environment Display dialog box for the Unit Selection dialog box. If the list is empty, it is likely that you need to perform an Update Runtime command.

5. Select a unit from the list.

   The listed units are entered in the process model, but are not currently assigned to a material.

6. Click Add.

   The selected unit appears in the Unit Assignment list of the Material Location Assignment Editor.
