Modify Ongoing Operation

Explanation

This activity is used to register changes for an ongoing operation or a set of operations. I.e. adding/removing employees and starting/stopping machine/labor time.

Prerequisites

• A production or setup activity must have been started on the operation.
• The Crew Size can only be modified if Reporting Mode has been set to Anonymous Reporting on the used site.
• Employees can only be added and removed if Reporting Mode has been set to Employee Reporting on the used site.

System Effects

• If the Machine Time check box is selected a new machine clocking sequence will be created.
• If the Labor Time check box is selected a new labor clocking sequence will be created.
• If an Employee is added a new labor clocking sequence will be created.
• If Machine Time check box is not selected, the machine clocking sequence will be stopped and one operation history transaction will be created per operation. (For more information see Stop Production/Stop Setup activities for details)
• If the Labor Time check box is not selected all active labor clockings sequences will be stopped and one operation history transaction will be created per employee and operation. (For more information see Stop Production/ Stop Setup activities)
• If an Employee is removed this clocking sequence will be stopped and one operation history transaction will be created per operation. (For more information see Stop Production/Stop Setup activities).
• If the value in the Crew Size field is changed, the labor clocking will be stopped and one operation history transaction will be created per operation. A new labor clocking sequence will be created carrying the new crew size value. (For more information see Stop Production/ Stop Setup activities)
• If the Clocking Note is changed the new note will be saved on all active clocking sequences.
