Provide the Completed Quantity for an Operation

Before you begin

If you do not have the permission to perform this task, request your administrator to provide the permission using Security.

Perform the following steps for the lot for which you want to mark the operation complete:
  1. Specify the consumption of all the mandatory BOM items.
  2. Provide data for all the mandatory quality variables.

About this task

After you perform an operation on a lot, you can provide the quantity of the lot on which you have performed the operation.

You can provide the completed quantity only if the following conditions are satisfied:
  • The product is non-serialized.
  • The operation requires clocking on (as defined in Route Editor or the ERP system).
  • You have specified the BOM consumption for all the mandatory BOM items for the quantity of the lot that you want to mark complete. For example, in a lot of eight items, if you have performed the operation on two items, you must specify the BOM consumption for the two items. The quantity of the consumed BOM items must be greater than or equal to the required quantity to perform the operation.
  • You have provided data for all the mandatory quality variables for the lot that you want to mark complete.
  • The lot is clocked on by you.

Procedure

  1. Access the operation for which you want to provide completed quantity.
  2. Select .
    Note: The button appears only if the lot is clocked on by you.
    The RECORD QUANTITY window appears.
  3. Enter the quantity of the lot for which you have completed the operation. The quantity that you enter must be less than or equal to the available quantity. If threshold values are defined for the lot, you must enter the quantity that satisfies the threshold range.
    A lot configured with threshold limits allows the operator to deviate from a planned quantity, and complete with more or less quantity based on the actual execution of the lot. A threshold range is configured for the product to identify the maximum and minimum allowed quantity to record in a lot to complete it.
    Note: Record quantity (default.record.quantity.to.remaining.quantity) is set to false by default (and is reset to the default value after installing a SIM release). When the value is false you must manually enter the outstanding quantity available for a serial/lot. This application service variable is set during Plant Applications installation.
    If you have installed Enterprise Plant Applications Web Client, these parameters are available in the following file:
    <installation_path>/PlantApplicationsDocker/plantapps-web-docker/mnt/configfiles/operator-app-service/prod/<version>/operator-app-service-prod.properties
    After you change the values of parameters, run the following Docker commands to restart the Operator app service:
    • sudo docker service scale PAOperatorappservice_operatorappservice=0
    • sudo docker service scale PAOperatorappservice_operatorappservice=1
    If you have installed Standard Plant Applications Web Client, these parameters are available in the following file:
    C:\Program Files\GE Digital\PlantApplicationsWebClient\config-repo\operator-app-service\prod\<version>\operator-app-service-prod.properties
    After you change the values of parameters, restart the Operator app service.
  4. Select Record.
    Tip: If you also want to clock off the lot, select Rec + Clock Off.
  5. Select any of these options:
    ButtonDescription
    Rec + Complete Appears only when the threshold values are configured for the lot.
    • Records the actual quantity entered by the operator and completes the lot, provided the actual quantity is within the defined thresholds.
    Rec + Clock Off
    • If threshold values are configured for the lot, records the entered quantity and the operator is clocked off the lot.
    • If threshold values are not configured, and
      • the recorded quantity is less than the planned quantity, then the quantity is recorded, and the operator is clocked off the lot.
      • the recorded quantity is equal to the planned quantity, then the lot is completed, and the operator is clocked off the lot.
    Record
    • If threshold values are configured for the lot, records the quantity entered by the operator.
    • If threshold values are not configured, and
      • the recorded quantity is less than the planned quantity, then only records the quantity.
      • the recorded quantity is equal to the planned quantity, then records and completes the lot.

Results

If the completed quantity of the lot is equal to the planned quantity, the operation is marked complete for the lot.
