Understanding Operation Header Information
The operations that the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Blend Management system uses are based on operation configurations that you have created previously. Every time you enter a new operation, you must select a configured operation as the basis. This configured operation provides default values and controls the type of information that you can enter for the new operation.
The system provides several methods for creating operations. You can add individual blend operations from the Operation Search program (P31B94). You can also create operations for a list of vessels that you select using the Inventory by Vessel View program (P31B81). Finally, you can also create a work order and associate operations with the work order (P31B95).
You enter new operation information in two parts. In the operation header, you specify the configured operation code, the facility for which you create the operation. When you set up configured operations, you can define valid or invalid blend facilities for each configured operation. On the operation header, you also specify the operation workflow status. You must be set up with a valid address book number to be able to enter operation information. If you have implemented operation workflow security, the system validates the address book number in the Creator field against the security definition that you have set up in the Operation Security program (P31B922). If you do not have the appropriate permission for the configured operation, facility, and workflow status, you cannot enter the operation.
See Setting Up Operation Workflow Security.
The system enables you to reschedule operations after you create them and enter instructed start and end dates. To reschedule operations, you must select the Re-Schedule Operations option. The system does not display this option when you add or view an operation, but the option is available when you revise an existing operation. For operations with base operation REC, this option is selected by default. The system reschedules subsequent operations if you select the Re-Schedule Operations option and move the date of the operation forward. the system does not save the check box value.
To go on to operation details, you must save the operation header information. When you click the Continue button, the system saves and locks the header record and launches the Create/Edit Operation Detail program (P31B87).
