Provide the Completed Quantity for an Operation

About this task

After you perform an operation on a lot, you can provide the quantity of the lot on which you have performed the operation.

You can provide the completed quantity only if the following conditions are satisfied:
  • The operation requires clocking on (as defined in Route Editor or the ERP system).
  • You have specified the BOM consumption for all the mandatory BOM items for the quantity of lot that you want to mark complete. For example, in a lot of eight items, if you have performed the operation on two items, you must specify the BOM consumption for the two items. The quantity of the consumed BOM items must be greater than or equal to the required quantity to perform the operation.
  • You have provided data for all the mandatory quality variables for all the lots that you want to mark complete.
  • The lots are clocked on by you.

Before you begin

Perform the following steps for all the lots for which you want to provide the completed quantity:

Procedure

  1. In the row containing the operation for which you want to provide the completed quantity, select .
    Note: The button appears only if there is at least one lot that for which you can provide the completed quantity.
    The Select Serial/Lot number(s) to Record Quantity window appears, displaying a list of lots for which you can provide the completed quantity. In the COMPLETED column, the quantity of the completed lots (out of the planned quantity) appears.
  2. For each lot for which you want to provide the completed quantity, select the check box, and then enter the quantity in the REC QUANTITY column. The quantity that you enter must be less than or equal to the available quantity. If threshold values are defined for the lot, you must enter the quantity that satisfies the threshold range.
    A lot configured with threshold limits allows the operator to deviate from a planned quantity, and complete with more or less quantity based on the actual execution of the lot. A threshold range is configured for the product to identify the maximum and minimum allowed quantity to record in a lot to complete it.
    Tip:
    • If you want to provide the completed quantity for all the lots in the list, select the check box in the heading row of the table.
    • You can search for a lot by entering a value in the Search in clocked on serial numbers box, and then selecting the check boxes from the filtered list that appears.
    Note: Record quantity is populated by default, when default.record.quantity.to.remaining.quantity is set to true. If false, you must manually enter the outstanding quantity available for a serial/lot. This application service variable is set during Plant Applications installation.
    If you have installed Enterprise Plant Applications Web Client, these parameters are available in the following file: 
    <installation_path>/PlantApplicationsDocker/plantapps-web-docker/mnt/configfiles/operator-app-service/prod/<version>/operator-app-service-prod.properties
    After you change the values of parameters, run the following Docker commands to restart the Operator app service:
    • sudo docker service scale PAOperatorappservice_operatorappservice=0
    • sudo docker service scale PAOperatorappservice_operatorappservice=1
    If you have installed Standard Plant Applications Web Client, these parameters are available in the following file: 
    C:\Program Files\GE Digital\PlantApplicationsWebClient\config-repo\operator-app-service\prod\<version>\operator-app-service-prod.properties
    After you change the values of parameters, restart the Operator app service.
  3. Select Record.
    Tip: If you also want to clock off the selected lots, select Rec + Clock Off.
    Note: The Record and Rec + Clock Off buttons are enabled only if you select the check box for at least one lot.
  4. Select any of these options:
    ButtonDescription
    Rec + CompleteAppears only when the threshold values are configured for the lot.
    • Records the actual quantity entered by the operator and completes the lot, provided the actual quantity is within the defined thresholds.
    Rec + Clock OffEnabled only if you select the check box for at least one lot.
    • If threshold values are configured for the lot, records the entered quantity and the operator is clocked off the lot.
    • If threshold values are not configured, and
      • the recorded quantity is less than the planned quantity, then the quantity is recorded, and the operator is clocked off the lot.
      • the recorded quantity is equal to the planned quantity, then the lot is completed, and the operator is clocked off the lot.
    RecordEnabled only if you select the check box for at least one lot.
    • If threshold values are configured for the lot, records the quantity entered by the operator.
    • If threshold values are not configured, and
      • the recorded quantity is less than the planned quantity, then only records the quantity.
      • the recorded quantity is equal to the planned quantity, then records and completes the lot.

Results

The value in the COMPLETED column for the operation is updated. If the completed quantity of a lot is equal to the planned quantity, the operation is marked complete for the lot.
