Ready Status

In the Dispatch List, the Ready Status icon for each job operation is set in the Ready Status Criteria parameter. The options are No Exceptions, No Shop Floor Status Assigned, and Quantity in Queue or Run. When a job operation meets the conditions, the Ready check mark is automatically updated and displayed as Ready. This client extension enables custom logic to determine if a job operation is ready with your specific definitions. In addition to the Ready Status icon visual indicator in the Dispatch List, the Ready Status client extension's value displays on the Work Content page. The program returns one of two different values, Yes or No:

A PL/SQL package, WIP_WS_CUSTOM, contains the custom programming instructions invoked.

Note: When the job operation is not ready prior to implementation of the client extension, the program does not effect the ready status of the job, displaying a Not Ready status.

When the job operation is ready prior to implementation of the client extension, if the program returns a Yes value - the job status in the Dispatch List is ready with the Ready status visual indicator enabled. If the client extension return a No value, the job status in the Dispatch List is not ready.
