PopupStartSomeDlg() method

Use the PopupStartSomeDlg() method to open the Start Some dialog box to split the specified job and start the split job if the StartSomeEnabled property is True.

Syntax

PopupStartSomeDlg(woID, operID, seqID, jobDesc, batchSize, startQty, reqdQty, prodQty);

Parameters

woId

A string that indicates the work order ID used to identify the job that is to be split.

operId

A string that indicates the operation ID used to identify the job that is to be split.

seqNo

An integer that represents the sequence number to identify the job that is to be split.

jobDesc

A string that indicates the job description of the job that is to be split. The description appears in the title of the Start Some dialog box.

batchSize

A double data type that indicates the batch size of the job that is to be split. A batch is used to determine the standard production time for a given amount of product. Standard production times are expressed either in time per batch, or batches per time. For example, assume that you want to track all of the cookies that are baked during a shift as a group, and that you want to determine the cookie production’s OEE. That calculation is based on the batch size and the batch production rate. If a batch size is 100 cookies and it takes 20 minutes to bake a batch of cookies, then up to 24 batches of cookies could be baked during an 8-hour shift, or a maximum of 2,400 cookies in a lot.

startQty

A double data type that indicates the start quantity of the job that is to be split. The start quantity of the split job defaults to half of this value. The start quantity of the split job can be edited on the Start Some dialog box, but can not exceed this amount.

reqdQty

A double data type that indicates the required quantity of the job that is to be split. This quantity is used to determine how much quantity is left to produce and the default quantity of the split job is set to half of this amount. This quantity can be edited on the Start Some dialog box, but can not exceed this amount.

prodQty

A double data type that indicates the produced quantity of the job that is to be split. This quantity is used to determine how much quantity is left to produce.
