Production stops
A production stop represents any period of time where a line is not running.
These are some reasons for a production stop:
- There is no job currently being executed on the production line
- A job is currently being executed on the production line, but production has not actually started yet because the line is still being setup

Most production stops are automatically managed in Infor MES when jobs are started and stopped.
These transactions are either:
- Performed manually in MES by the operator
- Automatically recorded through OPC
- Automatically recorded from an interface to another system
