Assign Attributes

About this task

Using Route Editor, you can assign attributes to an operation, which an operator can refer to when performing the operation.

Procedure

  1. In the Route Editor page, select the route for which you want to assign attributes.
  2. Select Attributes.
    The Attributes section appears.
  3. Provide values as specified in the following table.
    Box Description
    NAME The name for the operation.
    BEHAVIOUR Select the behavior of the operation. The following options are available:
    • Non Clocking: Select this option if the operation does not require a manual clocking on. If you select this option, you can mark an operation complete even if serials/lots are not clocked on, mandatory BOM items are not consumed, or values for mandatory quality variables are not specified.
    • Clocking: Select this option if the operation requires manual clocking on and clocking off. By default, Clocking is selected for an operation.
    LABOR TYPES Select the labor types for the operation. A value is required.
    Note: If the behavior of the operation is set to Non Clocking, this field is disabled.
    DEFAULT LABOR Select the default labor type. A value is required. You can choose from the list of values that you selected in the LABOR TYPES column. When an operator clocks on a serial/lot number using the Work Queue or Unit Operations application, by default, the labor type that you select in this column is selected. The operator can, however, choose a different one from the ones that you selected in the LABOR TYPES column.
    Note: If the behavior of the operation is set to Non Clocking, this field is disabled.
    OPTIONAL Switch the toggle to specify if this operation is optional.
    Note: If you have set all operations as optional, you must at least complete one optional operation to execute the work order.
    MUTUAL EXCLUSION Switch the toggle to make the operation as mutually exclusive to another operation.
    Note: You can make an operation mutually exclusive to another operation that has the same sequence number (priority).
  4. Select Save.
    The selected attributes are assigned to the operation.
