Stop Production

Explanation

This activity is used to stop a started production on one or several operations.

When calculating operation hours, the priority of calculating the operation hours should be as follows:

  1. Based on the calendar settings defined in the Manufacturing Labor Class/Employees tab.
  2. If calendar is not defined, when IFS/Human Resources is installed, refer the employee's work schedules defined in the Employee Schedules and Rules window.
  3. If employee’s schedule is day type independent or
    If IFS/Human Resources is not installed, and no valid schedule exists for the employee;
    then use the labor class calendar defined in the Basic Data for Manufacturing Labor window.

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 production (runtime) must have started on the operation.
