Guidelines with Work Orders Created from a Line

You can reconfigure a line that has work orders created from a line queued to it within the following guidelines:

• You must have line editing privileges. This is assigned using the May edit lines Configurator privilege setting in MES Client.

• All work orders on the line must have a status of New, Ready, Suspended, or On Hold.

• If a work order is currently running, which means it has at least one job running, it must be stopped by:

  • Changing its status to Suspended or On Hold (see Changing a Work Order's Status), or

  • Stopping, canceling, or completing any running jobs. Jobs can be stopped or completed in MES Web Portal (see Starting and Ending Jobs), but can only be canceled using MES Client.

• For Suspended or On Hold work orders, the calculated starting quantity must be equal to or greater than the required quantity.
