Operation Status
Operation status codes indicate the detailed status of individual operations. The system automatically assigns status codes to operations as transactions are processed.
Queue
An operation’s status is automatically set to Queue when material is moved to that operation, either by releasing a work order, entering labor feedback for that operation, or using Operation Move Transaction (17.6) to manually move material.
When Move Next Operation is Yes in a labor feedback transaction, the next operation is automatically set to status Queue and quantities reported complete are moved to that operation.
Setup
An operation’s status changes to Setup when you report setup time for that operation.
Running
An operation’s status changes to Running when you report run time for that operation. This is not affected by the number of units reported as completed, rejected, or reworked.
Complete
An operation’s status changes to Complete when you:
• Report it as completed using one of the labor feedback transactions or Work Order Operation Backflush (16.19).
• Close it using Operation Complete Transaction (17.5).
• Run Work Order Accounting Close (16.21).
When an operation is complete, you cannot process additional transactions against it. However, you can reopen operations if required using Work Order Routing Maintenance (16.13.13).
For more information, see
Closing Operations.
Hold
Indicates the operation is on hold. This status can only be set manually in Work Order Routing Maintenance.
A blank status indicates an inactive operation. An operation’s status is blank when the work order routing is first exploded and remains blank until you record activity for it.
Use Work Order Routing Maintenance to manually change an operation’s status, if required.
