I assume you are all refering to "First Article". In Job Entry, at
each operation, you can set the First Article Quantity. Vantage
canned shop warnings and global alerts then notify production and
quality when First Articles exist. The help file explains a little
more on how it is processed (as it differs if you are using MES).
Either way...because of the break quantities you may need to create
the same operation mutliple times to account for each break in qty.
In other words, if you are planning to produce 1,000 (in total) but
on every 100 you want a first article inspection...then you would
need 10 operations (100 each) and each flagged as first article for
10 pcs.
