Job processing option attributes

You can configure job processing options to control jobs running on entities, such as starting or stopping a job. You can also specify other options associated with a job, such as splitting a job or moving quantities between jobs.

Automatically End Jobs When Reqd Qtys Are Met

If you select this option and if the total quantity produced by a job is equal to or greater than the required quantity of the job, then the job is automatically ended.

If you do not select this option, the job must be manually stopped even if the production quantity is greater than the required quantity.

Must Produce Required Quantity

If you select this option, a job cannot be ended unless the total number of good quantity produced is equal to or greater than the required quantity for the job.

If you do not select this option, the job can be ended even if the job does not produce the required quantity.

If the OCO and a UCO are under the same application object, when the Entity Model Builder is run, this parameter will be set to False for the entity. This is because the UCO must always be able to end a job regardless of the produced quantity and regardless of the OCO setting.

Auto Apply Production Counts When No Job Running

If you select this option, and if production is made when no jobs are running on an entity, the production request is applied to the last job that ran on this entity. If no such jobs are found, the production request is rejected.

If you do not select this option and production counts are sent when no jobs are running on the job position, the production is rejected.

Note: This property is not applicable to OCO, because if a job is not running on the entity while adding production, the production will be rejected.

Allow Zero Quantity Split

You can split a job and assign some quantity of work that must be produced by the job that is split. Splitting a job allows you to run jobs on different entities and reduce the time to complete the task.

If this option is not selected, a job with 0 quantity cannot be split.

For example, to process 5000 parts on a single milling machine (Machine 1), we can split 1000 parts to Machine 2 and 1500 parts to Machine 3, leaving 2500 to be done on Machine 1.

A job must be split to execute it on multiple entities. If the Auto Allocate Quantities To Running Job option is selected, more production for the job that is split can be reported as compared to the job start quantity.

A job cannot be split if the job is scheduled for an entity group that contains only one entity.

Auto Allocate Quantities To Running Job

Select option to automatically allocate quantities to a running job that is split from the scheduled job.

If this option is selected and the Total quantity produced + Total quantity reported for a job exceeds the starting quantity of the job, then the overage quantity is calculated and transferred from another job. The overage quantity is transferred from a job whose start quantity is more than the overage quantity and the job is not scheduled for any entity.

If this option is not selected, the overage quantity will not be calculated to update the start quantity for each production.
