Moisture from the room climate can influence the durability of additional components and must be monitored during the production process. These moisture-sensitive devices are only permitted to be exposed to an unprotected environment for a limited period of time. This time is referred to as the exposure time. Materials that have exceeded their exposure time are blocked from production.

The moisture sensitivity level defines how long a material is permitted to remain in an unprotected environment. If the material is stored in a protected environment (e.g. a dry box), the exposure time can be stopped depending on the MSL.

Total exposure time, remaining processing time and last possible processing date are recalculated if the exposure time is adjusted.

Adjust exposure time

Prerequisites

MaterialManagement Expert or MaterialManagement Administrator role
The material is stored in a protected environment, for example, a dry box.

Procedure

Search for material using one of the following options:
Open the MSD information tab.
In the New exposure time field, enter the new exposure time in dd-HH format.
Click on Save.
In the dialog, click on Confirm.

The new exposure time is saved.

The values in the Total exposure time, Remaining processing time and Last possible processing date fields are adjusted.

The pie chart is adjusted.

The manual adjustment is displayed in the results table and in the Material history tab: Material History tab.
