Copy an Operation

About this task

This topic describes how to copy an operation. You can also create a new operation.
Note: When you copy an operation, the BOM items and documents are not copied.

Procedure

  1. In the Route Editor page, select the route in which you want to copy an operation.
    The Edit Route page appears.
  2. In the left pane, in the row containing the operation that you want to copy, select .
    A new row for the copied operation appears in the Overview section.
    • The name of the copied operation is in the following format: Copy <name of the original operation>
    • The remaining columns are populated with the corresponding values in the original operation.
  3. Enter a unique name for the operation. The name must not exceed 100 characters.
  4. As needed, modify values as specified in the following table.
    ColumnDescription
    SEQIdentifies the sequence number of the operation. If multiple operations must be performed simultaneously, provide the same sequence number.
    Tip: When setting the sequence numbers, provide a gap in their values so that you can easily add new operations between other operations. For example, if the sequence number of the first operation is 1, set the sequence number of the second operation to 10. This allows you to add new operations between these two operations without the need to modify the sequence numbers of all the operations.
    NAMEIdentifies the name for the operation. Enter a unique name that does not exceed 100 characters.
    DESCRIPTIONIdentifies the description for the operation. Enter a description that does not exceed 1000 characters.
    BEHAVIORIdentifies the behavior of the operation. A value is required. 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 TYPESIdentifies the labor types for the operation. A value is required. 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.
    DEFAULT LABOR

    Identifies 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 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.

    EQUIPMENTIdentifies the equipment that is used to perform the operation. You can select multiple pieces of equipment for the same operation, and you can select the same piece of equipment for multiple operations.
    Tip: You can also select the equipment used in an operation from the Resources section.
  5. As needed, modify the property definitions and values.
  6. Select Save.

Results

The operation is copied.
