Report Operations per Work Center

Explanation

Use this activity to report the time and quantity for an operation on a work center. It can be the time needed to set up an operation before manufacturing begins or the time of the actual manufacturing. The status of the operations changes upon reporting. This lets you report as many or as few steps as you desire, depending on the degree of detail planned in operation reporting. You can report more manufacturing or setup time than the default value.

If the operation is connected to a component line and that component line is not issued prior to reporting the operations, it will be issued using the backflush feature. If any of the components issued by the backflush feature is catch unit enabled, this activity can be performed only if the full quantity in the inventory part location is issued. If only a part of the quantity in an inventory location is issued, you will have to manually issue the components before reporting the operation.

If the Milestone Operation check box is selected, it indicates that the operation must be reported prior to the succeeding operation and that automatically reporting is not allowed.

This activity contains a Security Checkpoint which can be activated by an administrator. With an activated security checkpoint on a function you will have to authenticate yourself again in order to fulfill the function. Additionally, whenever a security checkpoint is successfully passed a security checkpoint log is written, creating an audit trail of what is done.

Prerequisites

The shop order must have at least Released status.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, the system (depending on how you perform operations reporting) changes the status of the operation to Setup started, Setup complete, Partially reported, or Closed. When you report that an operation is complete, the planned scheduling of the operation is reset so that the operation is released for another workload, if the work center still has capacity. Operation-linked material not previously issued is issued automatically. Work In Process (WIP) transactions are created.
