Stopping Machine Operations

Use the End Machine form to stop machine operations for a job. You can report completed and moved quantities, scrap items, and assign lot and serial numbers when stopping machine operations.

To stop a machine operation:

Open the End Machine form.

Note: If the End Machine form is started from the Home page the form defaults the job fields from the start machine record for the employee. If no start record is found, the form displays the message: Employee: xxx does not have a run transaction running with an ok button. When the employee clicks the button the form is closed.
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, warehouse, and job status are displayed along with the total, scrapped, completed, and remaining quantities. To view the current progress of each operation in the selected job, select the Progress tab.
Select the operation number you are stopping. The work center where the operation will be performed is displayed along with the time the operation started and the elapsed time.
Specify or review this information:
