Usage

Use this dialog box to approve quantities and/or time on an operation and to receive parts into inventory.

Completed operation quantities are entered in the Qty to Report field. The operation will be closed when the Close Operation check box is selected. By selecting the Report Previous Operations check box, previous operations will be reported up the level reported on the current operation.
Note: If employee competency requirements exist in one or more previous operations, and the competency check for the site is mandatory, then users are not allowed to report previous operations.

If no activity is ongoing on the operation, time can be manually registered by selecting the Report Time check box and entering the time to be reported manually. If the site is run in employee reporting mode, the labor time can be booked on one or several employees by selecting the Register Time for Employees check box and enter the employees in the table.

This can also be used to approve multiple operations, if the selected operations are either from the same sequence of internal or external operations or different sequences of internal or external operations. For each selected operation, the dialog box will open to proceed with the respective operation. It should be noted that when Cancel All is selected, it cancels reporting of all remaining operations that has been selected. Already reported operations will remain reported.

If the operation is the last one on the order, parts can be received into inventory:

• Non tracked parts are received by selecting the Receive into Inventory check box and entering the quantity to receive in the Qty to Receive field and the location in the Location No field.
• Serial tracked parts are received by selecting the Receive Serial Parts check box which will trigger either the Receive Serialized Parts or Match Lots to Serials and Receive dialog box where the serial numbers to be received can be selected.
• Lot Batch tracked parts are received by selecting the Receive Reserved Lots check box which will trigger the Receive Reserved Lots dialog box where the lot batch number to receive can be selected.

It is also possible to define additional parameters by opening the Receive Parameters dialog box. You can define W/D/R No, Condition Code, Expiration Date, Availability Control ID, and Catch Quantity when applicable to the part to be received. It is necessary to differentiate the receiving stocks using a unique W/D/R number when you receive parts with either Expiration Date or Availability Control ID.
