The Global Actions and Job Operation Actions parameters enable you to display or restrict a number of seeded actions available on the MES Workstation and MES Supervisor Workbench. See:

• Global Actions Parameter

• Job Operation Actions Parameter

You can add other reports and functions you use on a regular basis to these actions. This is accomplished by setting up these menu options in the Form Functions and Manufacturing Lookups windows.

   To set up a customized global or job operation action:

1. Navigate to the Form Functions window.

   See: Form Functions Window

   Note: In this setup example, the View Concurrent Request page is used as an example of a non-seeded global or job operation action. You can use other reports and actions not included in the seeded environment.

2. Create a new function by entering the following values.

   Note: The number part of the FORM_FUNCTION_NAME_NUMBER value is what is entered as the Code in the lookup. The key to this capability is to create a form function name with a number:

   • In the Description tabbed region enter a Function Name and User Function Name:

     • Function Name, for example:

       Global Action: WIP_WS_GLOBAL_CUSTOM_1001

       or

       Job Operation Action: WIP_WS_JOBOP_ACTIONS_CUSTOM_1001

     • User Function Name: for example: View Concurrent Request

   • In the Properties tabbed region, enter in the Type field: SSWA jsp function

   • In the Web HTML tabbed region, enter the HTML Call value:, for example: OA.jsp?akRegionCode=FNDCPREQUESTVIEWPAGE=0

3. Save your work.

4. Navigate to the Manufacturing Lookups window.

   See: Application Utilities Lookups and Application Object Library Lookups

5. Search for the following record using these search parameters:

   • Type: WIP_WS_GLOBAL_ACTIONS or WIP_WS_JOBOP_ACTIONS

   • Meaning: Global Actions or Job Operation Actions

   • Application: Work in Process

   • Description: Global Actions or Job Operation Actions

6. Place your cursor in the Code field, and select New to create a new entry.

   A new row appears for entering data.

7. In the new row that appears, in the Code field, enter the numeric value you created in the Form Functions window.

   For example, if you entered the custom function name WIP_WS_GLOBAL_CUSTOM_1001, enter 1001 as the Code value.

   When the numeric value is identical to the form function number, Oracle code calls the respective function when the action is selected.

8. In the Meaning field, enter the name of the program, and in the Description field enter the description of the program.

   For this example of viewing the concurrent request page, use:

   • Meaning: FND View Request Page

   • Description: View Concurrent Requests page

9. Save your work.

10. Navigate to the Manufacturing Execution Workstation Parameters page.

    See: Manufacturing Execution Workstation Parameters

11. Select a parameter level. Your choices are Site, Role, Organization, or Department. Depending on the level selected, other level specific values are required.

12. Select Go to display the Workstation Parameters page.

13. Select the appropriate parameter, either Global Actions or Job Operation Actions, and choose Update.

14. Select the new action you added from the Available box - and move to the Selected box.

    The order listed in the Selected box, is the order displayed on the page. Use the Arrow tool to change the order they appear in the pop-list.

    Now when you are in either the MES Workstation and MES Supervisor Workbench - based on site, role, organization and department access - this task appears as an action.
