Manufacturing Operation Tasks

After you save a WIP work order that has a designated routing, manufacturing operation tasks are created based on the routing.

Each of these tasks is a step that must be done in order for the assembly process to finish. After work for the task has been done, manufacturing operators can log progress against each task on a work order completion form.

To view a list of operation tasks:

Go to Transactions > Manufacturing > Enter Work Orders > List.
Click View next to the work order.
Click the Operations subtab.
Optionally select a custom view for the operations list.

The list displays the following for each operation task:

Operation Sequence
Operation Name
Predecessor
Start Date
End Date
Input Quantity
Completed Quantity
Setup Time (Min)
Run Rate (Min/Unit)

Click an operation name to open the task record.

Note:

You can also modify tasks from the work order. Go to Transactions > Manufacturing > Enter Work Orders > List. Click Edit next to the work order to be edited. Then click the Operations subtab to view a list of operation tasks.

Add or Delete Tasks

On the Operations subtab of a work order, you can add a new operation task and you can delete an existing task. However, note that you can add or delete only the last task in the sequence. For example, you have operation tasks with these sequence numbers: 10, 20, 30, 40.

You can add a new task with a sequence number 41.
You cannot add a new task with a sequence number 21.
You can delete task sequence number 40.
You cannot delete task sequence number 20.

After task records are created, you can open and modify them individually. For more information, see Editing a Manufacturing Operation Task.
