FTA: MCS Generation - MCS Report Management

The
MCS Report Management
 tab is used to create MCS documents for data from a BOM Analysis. The BOM Analysis process is described in more detail in the
BOM Analysis
 section of this help.
From this tab, you can retrieve previously generated MCS documents and view the details of the associated BOM(s).
Most columns in the
MCS Generation
 grid have filtering capabilities so a specific MCS can be quickly located.
To open an MCS Report:
  1. Choose an MCS from the grid.
  2. Click the
    MCS Report
     link. The report will open in a separate browser tab.
To generate an MCS document from the
BOM Analysis
 screen, complete the steps listed in the
BOM Analysis
 section of this help.
After the grid has been fully populated, click
Create MCS Reports

Whether
