What is Re-Parenting in ManufApp?
Re-Parenting in ManufApp refers to the process of changing the parent machine or group under which a machine is assigned.
It is typically used to reorganize the machine hierarchy to reflect changes on the shop floor — such as relocating a machine to a different department, production line, or work center.
This ensures that the system accurately mirrors the physical setup, improving operational clarity, traceability, and reporting accuracy.
Example of Re-Parenting
Before:
Welding Section (Parent)
└── MWIP-10 (Child)
Now, due to a layout change, MWIP-10 is moved to the Finishing Section.
To reflect this change in ManufApp, you would re-parent it:
After:
Finishing Section (New Parent)
└── MWIP-10 (Child)
Keeping your machine hierarchy aligned with the real-world layout enables better traceability, job assignment, and section-wise reporting.
