Stopping Production Schedules

Use the End Production Schedule form to stop production schedules. You can report completed quantities and assign lot and serial numbers when stopping production schedules.

To stop production schedules:

  1. Open the End Production Schedule form.
  2. 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.
  3. Specify this information:
    Item
    Scan an item number.
    Schedule
    Select a production schedule.
    Work Center
    Select a work center.
    Operation
    Select an operation.
    Shift
    Select your shift.
    To Container
    Select this check box to issue the completed items to a container.
    Container
    Scan a container to which to issue the completed items. Optionally, leave blank to generate a new container number. This field is only displayed if the To Container check box is selected.
    Good Qty
    Specify the number of completed items.
    Scrapped Qty
    If applicable, specify the number of scrapped items.
    Scrapped Reason
    Select a reason for any scrapped items. This field is only displayed if you are scrapping items.
    Note: 
    • If the End Production Schedule form is accessed from the Home page, the form populates the Item, Schedule, Work Center, and Operation fields for the required employee. If no start record is found, the application displays this message; Employee: xxx does not have a Production Schedule Labor transaction running with an ok button.
    • If the End Production Schedule form is accessed in non-Time Track mode, the form populates the Shift field for the required employee’s shift in the ERP. When the form is accessed in Time Track mode the Shift field is not displayed. If the record is written or submitted, the standard Time Track rules are used to determine the shift and the labor time is recorded in the Time Track labor tables. If the labor is written to Syteline the standard Time Track rules for using the default/generic shift must be used to pass the shift for the Syteline.
  4. If applicable, specify the lot number on the Lot/Serial tab. If backflushing is required or Time Track is implemented, the Lot/Serial tab is unavailable.
  5. If applicable, select the arrow button on the Lot/Serial tab to assign serial numbers. See Assigning Serial Numbers for details. You must assign all unassigned serial numbers to stop the operation. If backflushing is required or Time Track is implemented, the Lot/Serial tab is unavailable.
  6. If applicable, select Backflush Lots to backflush material for other operations. See Backflushing Lot Material for Job Operations for details. This button is only available if the item is lot-controlled, and the item and operation are eligible for backflushing.
  7. If applicable, select Backflush Serials to backflush serialized material for other operations. See Backflushing Serialized Material for Job Operations for details. This button is only available if the item is lot-controlled, and the item and operation are eligible for backflushing.
  8. To stop production schedules, select the green process button.
  9. If you are creating a new lot, you might be prompted to specify lot attributes. If the Lot Attributes form is displayed, specify lot attributes. See Specifying Lot Attributes for details.
  10. If the Print Labels parameter is selected on the Transaction Settings form, labels are automatically printed or the Label Printing form is opened. See Printing Labels for information about printing labels using the Label Printing form.
