Job operation actions are the job transactions and actions used in your environment. The list of actions available are set in a parameter, see: Job Operation Actions. These actions are also set on the Search Jobs page using the Search Job Operation Actions Parameter. The list of actions available include the following:

Assign Alternate Resources

You can substitute alternate resources and resource groups to balance your resource load, and resolve exception conditions. See: Assigning Alternate Resources

Assign Shop Floor Status

You can assign shop floor statuses to any intraoperation step associated with a job. See: Assigning Shop Floor Status

Clock In, Clock Out, and Undo Clock In

Clocks flag the job operation as started or ended, enabling you to record resource charges for time entry. See: Clock In and Clock Out

Expedite and Undo Expedite

Any job operation can be moved to top priority on the dispatch list. Scheduled operation start and end times are not changed - the operation is moved on the display to make it prominent. The Ready column displays an arrow icon indicating the operation is expedited. Since expediting is performed at the job level, all operations are affected - and moved and marked on the dispatch list.

Express Complete Related Job Operations,

You can perform express job operation completions and use specific search criteria to pull in the related operations, see: Performing Express Completions for Related Job Operations

Job On and Job Off

Job On and Job Off actions are a separate action of clock actions, required when multiple employees are working on a single job operation. This action flags the job operation as picked and ready, enabling the recording of resource charges for time entry. See: Clock In and Clock Out

Move Assembly, Move and Complete, Express Move, and Complete Assembly

You can move assemblies within an operation, from one operation to another, backward and forward within the routing, and onto completion of the job. You also have the ability to create express moves - enabling simultaneous completion and scrap, or completion and reject, for the entire quantity in one action. See: Moving and Completing Assemblies

Print Label

Label printing ability is provided while performing work on the shop floor from various pages. The Print Label action is defined in the Job Operation Actions and Work Content Actions parameters. You can print labels for:

• Job related information

• Serialized numbers in specific jobs

• Move and completion transactions

• Multiple labels for a range of jobs - one label for the entire job quantity, and individual labels are printed for each serial number in the job

Two parameters are used to specify at what point in the transaction labels are printed:

• Assemblies for Completion Labels specifies which assemblies or categories have labels printed at completion.

• Standard Operations for Move Labels defines the operations where labels are automatically printed when a move transaction is performed.

See: Labeling Overview, and Label Printing Integration Kit, Oracle Warehouse Management Implementation Guide

Reject Assembly and Scrap Assembly

You can reject and disposition assemblies on the production floor that do not meet standards. The Reject and Scrap process isolates problem assemblies by moving the assemblies into a scrap or reject intraoperation step. If these assemblies are reworked, they can be returned to their routing operation, see: Rejecting and Scrapping Assemblies

Reschedule Operation and Undo Reschedule Operation

You can reschedule operations to balance the work load. See: Rescheduling Operations

Return Assembly, Return and Move, Return From Scrap, and Return From Reject

You can return assemblies to production from the supply subinventory, or reworked parts that were originally scrapped or rejected. See: Returning Assemblies

Separator1, Separator2, Separator3

Separators are not actions, they are used to group actions together.

Transact Components

You can create component transactions for a job. See: Job Component Transactions

View Exceptions, Report Exception, and Update Exceptions

Exceptions are reported when work is stopped on the production line. When notified about exceptions, you can view other job operations affected and take action. See: Viewing and Resolving Exceptions

Viewing Job Information

Detailed information about job and operation transactions is available in the following pages: View Job Detail, View Job Transactions, View Operation Transactions, View Related Jobs, and View Work Content. See: Viewing Job Information and Viewing Work Content

View and Print Job Traveler

You can view and print a job traveler in the Dispatch List, Work Content, Search Jobs, and Shopfloor Progress pages. The traveler displays as a PDF file in a separate window.

The job traveler can contain associated attachments such as instructions for the job in the body of the traveler, or at the end as an appendix. You can:

• Configure the job traveler template at several levels including category set, item, category, or organization level. See: Job Traveler Template Setup

• Customize the traveler, including enabling bar code scans, if Oracle XML Publisher is installed.

• Attach files types such as images, short text, long text, and PDF.

  Note: All attachments display on the traveler, however you can customize the template if you want to delete certain sections using Oracle XML Publisher.

• Print the job traveler in batch mode. For example, you can print the job traveler for all the jobs for a shift before starting a shift. In the Shopfloor Progress region of the Dashboard page, you can select multiple jobs that are scheduled to start in a shift - and select View Job Traveler.
