Options for Work Orders with Multiple Serials
In the example above, this is configured as:
Operation | Start Option | Station Operation | Actions in Sequence |
|---|---|---|---|
Picking | Works Order | If set to Picking: Tascus will remove the work order when the qty has been completed. If set to None: Tascus will display the qty remaining on the open order, and show any in-progress serials from this order | Generate label with Part & Serial Number in a barcode |
Machining | Barcode Scan | ||
Assembly | Barcode Scan | ||
Test | Barcode Scan | ||
Audit | Barcode Scan |
In the below example screen shots, we've shown how a works order with a quantity of 10 can be displayed and used in the Start Production screen.
In this first example, the order A7800 NEU001 # 5 of 10 Multiple is selected. This means 5 out of 10 items have been started, as the Serial Number shown is Multiple - then Tascus will generate a new serial number when this is selected.
In below example, the order A7800 NEU001 # 5 of 10 00000024 is selected. This means 5 out of 10 items have been started, as the Serial Number shown is 00000024 - then Tascus will resume production on 000000024, it will not generate a new serial.
To setup a station in this mode, go to Settings > Start Options and change Production Start to Works Order
On the Work Orders tab, change the Order Format String to include the characters sn - this will ensure that the serial number is displayed, so you can distinguish between a Multiple and a serial number work order.
Creating Work Orders
This will ensure that each item in the order has a serial number created.
Select your preferred option for the serial number format.
Work Order Quantity
For this to work correctly, the production station needs to know that it is the first operation in the sequence, and so should be the one to generate a serial number.
Once this is done, the Run Production Sequence window will show the quantity remaining in the order, and will generate a new serial number each time.
If Station Operation is set to None, Tascus will allow the quantity on the Works Order to be exceeded, and will not keep a count.
