Work Queue Tab Buttons

The following buttons are specific to the Work Queue tab. For information about the other buttons, see Common Buttons.

Run

Depending on the user's privileges, this starts the highlighted job, and, if the job is part of a batch of jobs, any other jobs that are in the batch are also started. This means that the job is now being worked on by the active user on the entity. If you have the May Ready Job privilege, a user can set a job to Running if the job state is Suspended, Ready, or New. If you do not have the May Ready Job privilege, then you can only set a Suspended or Ready job to Running.

You will not be allowed to start a job that has been assigned an access certification that you do not possess.

Stop

Completes a currently running or suspended job. If all required information or production quantities are not met, you will be prompted to complete all tasks before completing the job.

Pause

Allows you to change the state of a Running, Suspended, or Onhold job to a Paused state, or a different paused state. This indicates that work on an unfinished job has been halted or needs to be started over for some reason.

Ready Job

If you have the May Ready Job privilege, clicking this button moves the selected job’s state to Ready.

Routing Diagram

Allows you to view the routing diagram for the selected job in the queue grid.

The diagram is always for the selected job in the queue even if there is a different job running.

WO/Job Notes

Displays work order, job, or item notes for the selected job in the queue. Notes are read-only.

Notes displayed are always for the selected job in the queue even if there is a different job running.

BOM Detail

Displays all components needed for the selected job and relevant information about each (such as quantity, minimum grade, storage location, etc.).

The BOM details that are displayed are always for the selected job in the queue even if there is a different job running.

Create New Work Order Against Shortage

Displays the Create Work Order-Select Item dialog box, which lists all the produced item shortages. You can select an item and manually create a work order to replenish the inventory level for that item. See Creating a Work Order to Replenish an Item’s Inventory.

Job Attributes

Displays all job attributes that are assigned to the selected job to be viewed or changed.

Job attributes that are displayed are always for the selected job in the queue even if there is a different job running.

Item Attributes

Allows you to view and change the attributes assigned to the item produced by the job selected in the queue grid.

Link Jobs

Opens the Select Jobs to Batch dialog box, which allows you to link two or more jobs together so that they are automatically readied, started, paused, and completed at the same time.

Split Jobs

Opens the Split Job dialog box, which allows you to split a portion of the required production from the selected job into a new job and, optionally, schedule it to another entity.

Start Some

Opens the Start Some dialog box, which allows you to specify an amount to pull from the required production from the selected job into a new job for the active entity. The new job is started automatically.

Add/Assign Serial Numbers

This button is available when the item of the selected job is serialized and the job is not in a completed or canceled state. It opens the Add/Assign Serial Numbers dialog box, which allows you to assign serial numbers to the selected job up to the required quantity defined. Usually this is performed on the first job of the work order.

Transfer Serial Numbers

This button is available when the item of the selected job is serialized and the job is not in a completed or canceled state. It opens the Transfer Serial Numbers to dialog box, which allows you to transfer serial numbers from another job or entity to the current job you are working on.

Job LogOff

If the active user is required to use a job-based login and is logged into the job selected on the Queue grid, this button is available. It logs the user off of the selected job.

After clicking this button, a dialog box appears, prompting the user to choose between logging off the job and setting the state of the job to Paused or Completed, or to leave the job running. The entity must be able to run without an operator, or there must be another user logged into the job for the active user to make the choice to log off and leave the job running. The user must have the privilege to end a job and all of the job’s requirements must be met for the user to be able to log off and end the job.
