Select Equipment

You can manually select equipment for a batch. The Equipment Selection dialog box contains a list of possible units that you can allocate for a particular recipe instance. Whenever Manual Unit Selection is configured for a process instance in the recipe Equipment Requirements Editor, you must select the equipment that is to be allocated and used by the current batch.

The Equipment Selection dialog box is dynamic. The current status of units that are available for selection appears in the dialog box. If the status of any equipment changes while the dialog box is open, the status list updates accordingly. The status of units shown in the Equipment Selection dialog box corresponds to those statuses defined in the process model. As long as the new unit status represents an available status, the unit remains in the list.
