Creating a Defect

About Creating a Defect

As an operator, you can use the Operations application in the Plant Applications Universal Client to create a defect on an operation when materials associated with a Production Unit do not meet the specification or requirement of a process, system, internal policies and procedures, customer requirements, and regulatory body.
Note: You can only create a defect for a clocked on operation available in the In Progress status.

After you create a defect on an operation, the status of the serial number and operation is modified to On Hold and appears in the On Hold page.

For more information on defects and depositioning of the defects, refer to the NCR Management section in the Plant Applications Universal Client Help.
