Starting Machine Operations

Use the Start Machine Time form to start machine operations for a job.

To start a job operation:

Open the Start Machine Time form.
Optionally, specify a date and time to record for this transaction. The current date and time is specified by default. You can only modify the date and time if your user ID has the appropriate authorizations on the User Extensions form.
Specify a job and job suffix. The item number, unit of measure, and job status are displayed as well as the total, scrapped, completed, and remaining quantities on the Details tab. To view the current progress of each operation in the selected job, select the Progress tab.
Select the operation number you are starting. The work center where the operation will be performed is displayed on the Details tab.
To start the selected operation, select the green process button. To close the form without starting any operations, select the Close button.
