Workflow > Un-Reconcile Plate

If a plate was accidentally reconciled (marked as cut), or was reconciled with the wrong data (eg wrong serial number), it can be unreconciled from the plate selector in Nesting mode, returning it to the Scheduled state. Refer to Plate Lifecycle for an overview of plate states.

Note however that as an alternative you can also change plate heat and serial numbers using the Audit Plate function, if you are un-reconciling because wrong audit info was entered.

View the plate in the selector (right pane of the screen), right click on it and select Un-Reconcile.

The following operations are performed, after first trying to lock the plate:

1.Check none of these rems are cut, if they are exit.

2.Check none of these rems are scheduled, if they are:

a.delete their child expected rem plates

b.delete nesting table references to their child expected rem plates

c.delete tblToolSummary entries for these plates.

3.Remove any nesting table entries for these rems

4.Remove any tool summary table entries for these rems

5.Remove the rems themselves from tblPlate

6.Change the reconciled plate state to 0 (In-Stock) and blank out reconciled by etc.

There are some limitations to this. If we are unable to lock the plate (a cutting machine may have open a scheduled nest on a child plate, someone else may have the plate open) then the operation will fail. If child plates have been marked as cut it will also fail; in some cases you can still roll back by first un-reconciling the child plates- presumably if they should not have been reconciled either.
