Plant ApplicationsAbout Clocking On Serials/Lots for an Operation
When an operation is created in Route Editor or the ERP system, if it is specified that the operation requires clocking on, you must clock on the serial/lot on which you want to work. It indicates that the you are ready to accept the work and perform the operation.
Operations are planned for execution in one or more production units during production. You can, however, clock on serials/lots for an operation only in one production unit.
A clock-on process on an operation locks the operation for a production unit. As an operator, you can clock on serials/lots for an operation in the Ready status to indicate that you are ready to accept the work and perform the operation. After you clock on, the following actions take place:
- The selected operation is no longer available in the other production units.
- A timer is enabled to monitor the time you spent on the completion of an operation. The time you spent on an operation is visible only to you. The completion time of an operation may differ from one operator to another.
- A clock-on status indicator appears for the serial/lot and the operation.
You can clock on multiple serials/lots at the same time. In addition, multiple users can clock on a single serial/lot.
Note: If an operation does not require clocking on (as defined in Route Editor or the ERP system), you cannot clock on serials/lots for the operation.
