Plant ApplicationsAbout Completing an Operation
Completing an operation involves performing the operation on all the serials/lots as specified in the work order.
To complete an operation that requires clocking on, you must perform the following tasks:
- Clock on each serial/lot associated on which you want to perform the operation.
- Perform the operation on each serial/lot that you have clocked on.
- Specify the consumption of BOM items for each serial/lot on which you have performed the operation. Only if all the mandatory BOM items have been consumed for all the serials/lots in the work order, you can mark the operation complete.
- Provide data for quality variables that have been defined for the operation in Plant Applications Administrator. Only if values for all the mandatory quality variables have been specified for all the serials/lots in the work order, you can mark the operation complete.
- If needed, create a non-conformance for any defective serials/lots.
- If needed, provide a comment on the serials/lots or work order.
- Provide the completed quantity for each serial/lot on which you have performed the operation.
To complete an operation that does not require clocking on, you can mark the operation complete directly.
Note: When an operation is clocked on by multiple operators and an operator completes the operation, the operation is marked complete for all the operators.
After all the operations in a work order are completed on all the serials/lots, the work order is marked complete. You can view the completion status of the work order in Work Order Manager.
