Hello everyone,
I would like to set up a process that automatically closes the job when 90% of the job quantity is completed.
But I’m stuck in the following process of Job Complete/Close Parameters Maintenance. There doesn’t seem to be a field to enter 90% of the work quantity.
Maybe I’m setting the wrong settings?
How should this process be set up?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I don’t think it’s possible to auto-close a job that has under-reported quantity.
@pilio.lee I think you would need to use production yield recalculation if you are going to allow under producing. If the operator marks the operation complete at 90% then the job would be adjusted to 90% and the the auto closing process could apply.
Production Yield
When selected, this check box instructs the Epicor application to perform production yield recalculation for this job in the event that its operations result in over-production or under-production. You also need to select one or more of the three system actions available on the Operation master for every operation used in this job to enable production yield recalculation to result in some action. If a system action is not selected on the Operation masters for operations for this job, the Epicor application performs production yield recalculation, but cannot undertake further action such as sending a warnings or alerts, or adjusting the job quantity automatically.
In addition, you also need to select the Production Yield Default option on the Plant master of each plant that stocks the parts used in this job (and its operations), along with one or both Production Yield system actions available on the Plant master. If this job does not have any operations, the recalculation process is not executed even if the Production Yield check box is selected for the job.
This check box is automatically selected if this job uses a part stocked in a plant that has the Production Yield Default check box selected on the Plant master.
Important: The actual production quantity of the operation is the quantity reported in Labor Entry or in Office Data Collection. Once the operation is marked as Complete on the Labor Entry - Labor Detail sheet, the Epicor application can start production yield recalculation. The estimated production quantity of the operation is the required quantity plus the estimated scrap.
Tip: The recalculation process does not start automatically after labor entry. You need to schedule or run the automated recalculation by scheduling the Production Yield Recalculation Process. This is a batch process.
Note: If you select the Recalculate Expected Yield checkbox and the job holds an operation in its method that includes the Recalculate Yield Under % value of zero, as defined in Operation Maintenance, and the last operation on the job is completed short, but marked as Completed, the job production quantity will be recalculated after you run the Production Yield Recalculation process.
I’d look into a scheduled function. Have it go through open jobs and if complQty >= prodQty * 0.9, then call a job closing method on the job. Run it once a day when no one is in the system.
