Mark an Operation Complete

Before you begin

If you do not have the permission to perform this task, a message appears, stating the same. If that happens, request your administrator to provide the permission using Security.
For a non-serialized product, if the operation that you want to mark complete requires clocking on, provide the completed quantity for the operation.

About this task

For an operation that requires clocking on, if the completed quantity of a serial/lot is equal to the planned quantity for the work order, the operation is automatically marked complete for the serial/lot. If, however, the operation does not require clocking on, if you have performed the operation on the serial/lot, you must mark the operation complete. It is then removed from the list in the Open page and appears in the Complete page.

Note: For a non-serialized lot, when an operation is a clocking operation and the material is configured with over and under production thresholds, the auto-complete feature is not triggered. In these cases, you must record a quantity and specify when they have completed the work. Completion is validated to ensure the quantity recorded is aligned to the over and under production thresholds based on the initial planned quantity of the serial/lot.

After all the operations on all the serials/lots in a work order are marked complete, the work order is marked complete in Plant Applications. You can view the completion status of the work order in Work Order Manager.

Note: Even if a part is over or under claimed at an operation, the X of Y quantity, Y is always based on the initial planned quantity, that is, it does not fluctuate based on manufactured/created/recorded quantity at previous operations. However, X can vary based on over or under quantity at the operation.

For example, Lot A is set for an initial planned quantity of 10. Now, at operation-1, the operator claims 9 of 10 quantity and completes the operation. In the Work Queue application, the operation-1 is complete with 9 of 10. However, for the next operation (operation-2), Lot A produces 10 quantity based on the initial planned quantity (and not as previous manufactured/created/recorded quantity of 9 at operation-1). In the Work Order Manager application, the work order can be completed with 9 of 10.

Procedure

Select the operation that you want to mark complete.
In the left pane, select the serial/lot for which you want to mark the operation complete, and then select .

Note: The button appears only if the completed quantity of the serial/lot equals the planned quantity for the work order or if the operation does not require clocking on.

Tip: You can search for a serial/lot by entering a value in the search box or by scanning for the bar code using the icon, and then selecting the check boxes from the filtered list that appears.

For a lot with thresholds, the RECORD QUANTITY window appears.
Select Rec + Complete.
You do not have to enter a quantity.

Results

If the operation is marked complete for all the serials/lots in the work order, the operation no longer appears in the Open page. It appears in the Complete page until all the operations for all the serials/lots in the work order are marked complete.
