Un-Verify Beds

Overview

The Un-Verify Beds feature returns a verified Production (casting) Bed to an editable status so changes can be made. Once a casting bed has been verified (indicated by a green background in Production Planning), it becomes locked and cannot be modified. Use this feature when you need to make changes to previously verified beds. 

When to Use Un-Verify Beds

You may need to un-verify a bed when:

• Corrections are needed to production data
• Schedule changes require bed adjustments
• Production errors need to be fixed
• Updates to piece information are necessary

Understanding Verified Beds

Once a casting bed is verified on the Production Planning screen (Figure 1), it displays with a green background. A verified bed is locked and cannot be modified.

Figure 1

For example: On the Production Planning screen (Production menu > Production Planning) in Figure 1, with a Location and Starting Date selected, all of the casting beds for July 16, 2024, have been verified and display a green background.

After clicking OK:

• The bed will be removed from the Un-Verify Beds screen (Figure 5).

Important Notes on Un-Verifying Beds

• Once a bed is un-verified, it immediately becomes editable in Production Planning.
• You can un-verify multiple beds simultaneously by selecting them together.
• The bed will need to be re-verified after making your edits.
• Changes made to un-verified beds should be reviewed carefully before re-verifying.
