Define an entity as the production source in a line layout

You can designate the entity in the line from which the line's production amount is to be derived. This means that the good count comes from the designated entity's line position and the bad count comes from the designated entity's line position and all preceding entities. Only one entity in the line can be designated as the source of the line’s production amount. If no entity is specifically designated as the production source, then the entity or entities in the last line position of the line are considered as the production source for the line.

If you select a parallel entity or an entity in a line segment, the production amount will include the items produced by all entities at that entity’s line position.

Note: A default standard item must be configured for any entity that will be set as the production source. See Configure the OEE data default settings for an entity.
