FPSAPP.WF_P_FACILITIES

FACILITY

Facility is included in almost every join in the DWH so this represents a definitive split. A route must have all steps on tools in the same facility. A tool must process all lots in the same facility. If your site has multiple buildings where lots run on routes using tools in multiple buildings then everything should be one facility. For example, multiple Fab buildings. But if your site has independent facilities like Fab and Test and Assembly where lot may progress from one to the next but on different routes then these should be different facilities. Since this column is in virtually every table it is critical that the value here is exactly matches what is in the MES if the MES has facility. Use facility_display for the display friendly name displayed in applications. See site_name comment for client/site/facility example. (* inherited from FPSINPUT.GEN_FACILITIES)

FACILITY_DISPLAY

The name of the facility displayed on all dashboards and reports. Facility is a short field since it is used in every join so we allow a longer more descriptive name here although often this will be the same as the facility. (* inherited from FPSINPUT.GEN_FACILITIES)

SORT_ORDER

This is used to sort within the grouping. SORT_ORDER always has a deferrable unique key to ensure uniqueness while allowing the user to make changes without erroring until the commit is attempted. Because of this you must be careful to not violate the unique key otherwise you will lose all of your edits. (* inherited from FPSINPUT.GEN_FACILITIES)
