Report Operation Using Barcode

Explanation

Use this activity to perform operations reporting using barcodes instead of traditional operations reporting. You have the option to report all time and quantity of the operation or to report part of the time and quantity. After the last operation is reported, you can perform an automatic receipt into inventory. A barcode reader scans the bars and translates the different patterns into standard characters.

If the operation is connected to a component line and that component line is not issued prior to reporting the operations, it will be issued using the backflush feature. If any of the components issued by the backflush feature is catch unit enabled, this activity can be performed only if the full quantity in the inventory part location is issued. If only a part of the quantity in an inventory location is issued, you will have to manually issue the components before reporting the operation.

This activity contains a Security Checkpoint which can be activated by an administrator. With an activated security checkpoint on a function you will have to authenticate yourself again in order to fulfill the function. Additionally, whenever a security checkpoint is successfully passed a security checkpoint log is written, creating an audit trail of what is done.

Prerequisites

System Effects

As a result of this activity, the system (depending on how you perform operations reporting) changes the status of the operation to Setup started, Setup complete, Partially reported, or Closed. If you select to automatically receive the part into inventory, all remaining shop order parts (including by-products) are received at the default inventory location. WIP (Work In Process) transactions are created.
