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 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.

The following links are displayed in the Work Order Operations table:
- Edit – opens the editable Manufacturing Operation Task popup window.
- Operation Sequence – opens the viewable Manufacturing Operation Task popup window.
- Operation Name – opens the viewable Manufacturing Operation Task popup window.
- Manufacturing Work Center – opens the viewable Static Employee Group popup window.
- Predecessor – opens the viewable Manufacturing Operation Task popup window.

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

From the work order Operations subtab, you can add a new operation task or you can delete an existing task. However, you can add or delete only the last task in the sequence.

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.
