    Article summary

    In this section, learn about the individual product (instrument) information and how to mark them as found or missing.

    Select a Product

    Upon selecting a product, the row will change to gray and pull up the product information and tools to the right (documented in the following section below).

    Missing Product Picture?
    Ascendco is constantly adding new pictures for products. Help us continue to do so by taking a picture of a product in a white background and sending it to the intercom bubble with supplier and part number information!

    This box includes the product picture, name, part number (in parentheses), the quantity of the product the count sheet calls for (2), the quantity marked found by the assembler (0), and potentially a No Subs icon.

    No Subs

    A facility designation to a count sheet product meaning this supplier and part number is the only acceptable option for this item.

    Config
    Designating an Item Product to have no acceptable substitutions can be configured in Items Module -> Specific Item -> Prods Tab.

    Mark a Product Found

    One of the multiple ways to mark a product as found is to click on the column on the right, which marks the product to par.

    First Product Information Box

    Upon selecting a product, the following information and tools will appear on the right:

    Missing Since...

    Appears under the supplier and catalog number if this instrument was missing in previous assembly(s) and has not since been marked found.

    ! Critical Icon

    A facility designation to a count sheet product meaning this product is critical to the function of this item; it is highly recommended that the target par is found to complete the assembly of this item.

    Config
    Designating an Item Product to have no acceptable substitutions can be configured in Items Module -> Specific Item -> Prods Tab.
    Optional Features
    A facility can choose to turn on a feature in which printing production labels and a count sheet would require a "double check" scan if a critical item product is marked missing. The facility also has the choice to have that double check scan be from any user or from a supervisor and above. Contact Ascendco Support to have this feature turned on for your facility!

    Target/Actual

    The Target/Actual note is a friendly reminder of the way Sonar documents what the count sheet target calls for (Target) followed by the actual product quantity that the assembler has found for assembly (Actual).

    All Button

    Mark all of this product's target quantity as found.

    None Button

    Mark all of this product's target quantity as missing. Note that this is the default option and is not necessary unless a user marks this product as found first.

    Help Facility Reporting
    The next four options are optional and meant mostly for reporting purposes. However, reporting won't be accurate unless everyone at the facility is using it. Set up a plan with your team as to how to mark each instrument via the choices in Sonar and stick to it! 

    Found

    Use the arrows or manually type a quantity to mark what is physically found from the item without looking in other items and backup.

    Removed For Repair

    Use the arrows or manually type a quantity to mark if any of the instruments selected were removed for repair.

    Removed Broken

    Use the arrows or manually type a quantity to mark if any of the instruments selected were removed because they were broken.

    Added From Backup

    Use the arrows or manually type a quantity to mark if any of the instruments selected were taken from backup inventory.

    Total

    The Target/Actual of the instrument selected.

    Other Product Information Boxes

    Upon selecting a product, this additional information and tools will appear on the right:

    Notes

    A note about the product selected.

    Alt Part No

    Acceptable alternate part numbers for the product selected. This is based on facility designation.

    Config
    Notes and alternate part numbers for a specific item product can be configured by Manager and Admin users in Items -> Specific Item -> Prods Tab

    OneSource Button

    Connects the user to the OneSource page for that product.
