Operation complete - short

How do you mark a specific operation complete if you want to end it a few pieces short? We went into Time and Expense Entry - retrieved the labor record and marked it OPR Complete - but it still appears on the schedule with the shorted qty (2 pieces of several hundred).

Any suggestions on how to handle if you pulled a job just a couple pieces short? Would we have to adjust the job demand qty?

Try checking the other ā€œCompleteā€ checkbox first (just below the Opr Complete checkbox). The Field Help describes the two checkboxes like this:

Opr Complete: When displayed in Labor entry this field represents the current status of JobOper.OpComplete. It is used to directly toggle the operation from open to closed. The LaborDtl write trigger uses this to set JobOper.OpComplete.

Complete: Indicates if this transaction ā€œcompletesā€ either the setup or production for this operation.

If that doesnā€™t work, then you can adjust the demand.

Thanks - thatā€™s what I thought. Either one sounds like it should remove any remaining balance from the schedule. We tried both and neither worked so far - but we have a customer made schedule that I will have to review that itā€™s checking for Opr Complete and not just remaining balance. Iā€™ll dig around a little more.

Thanks!

I think the ā€˜Completeā€™ would be to complete either Setup or Production - OPRCOMPLETE would mark the entire operation complete (both setup and production) - Iā€™m assuming.

I think we were missing the filter (table criteria) in the schedule to check for OPR COMPLETE - we were just anticipating that all productionqty would be 0 when complete. Ooops.

It does seem to work now if operator selects OPRCOMPLETE or manager goes into time & expense entry to mark it if running job short for any reason.

I know that the operators I have worked with always marked the Complete checkbox if the operation was complete.

If the Opr Complete is working for you, then that is all that matters.
