A customer pointed out a missing option when unloading a coil. When we see a Tail-Out input it can be for one of four reasons.
- The coil was removed because there are no more orders for it.
- It was completely used up.
- It was just backed out temporarily
- The remaining coil is un-usable and must be scrapped out.
We had options to handle 1-3 but we were missing a way to report option 4.
The unload coil screen now has a button for "Remaining Coil is Scrap". It becomes enabled if the Eclipse UART version is 3.59 or higher. Otherwise it is disabled because the customers version of Eclipse is not able to support the new feature.
If enabled, pressing the button opens a new dialog window that shows the user the coil number and the total footage used on the coil. It also has prompts to allow a scrap code to be entered and the remaining footage to be entered. If the customer has configured Eclipse properly with the initial footage of the coil and they are using Coil Validation, the controller will be able to calculate and pre-populate the remaining footage of the coil. If the initial footage was not provided or the controller calculates there is negative footage remaining it will pre-populate zero instead.
The dialog window has a "Scrap the Coil" button and a "Cancel" button.
Pressing the "Scrap the Coil" button reports the remainder as scrap using the footage and scrap code provided by the operator.
Pressing the "Cancel" button returns back to the original Unload Current Coil window.
