You can clock on a serial/lot only if the operation requires clocking on (as defined in Route Editor or the ERP system).
Before you begin
Ensure that you have the permission to perform this task. For more information, refer to Security
Ensure that the operation is in the Ready or In Progress status.
Procedure
In the Work Queue page, in the row containing the operation on which you want to begin work, select the ON button.
Alternatively, you can select the operation and work order combination from the Work Queue page, and then select the ON button in the page heading.
Note:
If none of the serials/lots of an operation has been clocked on, the operation will not appear in the work queue. In that case, add the operation to Work Queue.
The ON button is enabled only if the operation requires clocking on (as defined in Route Editor or the ERP system).
The Select Serial (s) to ClockOn window appears, displaying a list of serials/lots in the operation that are available.
In the LABOR TYPE drop-down list box, select the type of labor you will perform at the operation.
Note:By default, the default labor type for the operation is selected. Different serials/lots of the same work order can be clocked on with different labor types.
Tip: To change the labor type for serials/lots that are currently clocked-on, select an operation and work order combination, and then select to expand the header section, and then in the LABOR TYPE drop-down list box, select the type of the labor you will perform at the operation.
In the EQUIPMENT box, select the piece of equipment that you will use to perform the operation.
Note: If the operation is associated with only one piece of equipment, it is automatically selected.
If you want to clock on all the available serials/lots, select the check box in the heading row of the table. If you want to clock on specific serials/lots, perform one of the following steps:
Select the check box for each serial/lot that you want to clock on.
Search for a serial/lot by entering the value in the Search in available serial numbers box, and then select the check boxes from the filtered list that appears.
Scan the bar code of the serial/lot by selecting .

Results
The selected serials/lots are clocked on. In the Queue page, the number of serials/lots that are clocked on is updated in the OFF/ON column, in the ON button.
All the serials/lots that you have clocked on are assigned the selected labor type.
The assigned labor type is displayed with the serial/lot name in the clocked-on serials/lots list.
