New Features


Job List screen

  1. Added several timestamp fields for tracking Work Order progress:
  2. Earliest PO Created shows the Entered-on Date of the PO allocated to the Work Order. If there are multiple POs, it shows the earliest entered-on date from the list of POs.
  3. Entered-On shows when the Work Order was created
  4. Engineering Received shows when the Work Order was finalized
  5. Engineering Completed shows when the Work Order moved to the Parts Picking step

  1. Picking Started On shows when the first timekeeping entry was logged for Parts Picking. If an earlier timekeeping entry is entered by a manager at a later time, this field will be updated.
  2. Lacking Parts Created shows when the reservations were created: for Manufacturing WOs (WOM) this is when the BOM step is confirmed done, while for Parts WOs (WOP) this is when the WO was Finalized
  3. Lacking Parts Confirmed is the time when the Parts Picking was done and some parts were confirmed lacking
  4. First ETA Provided shows when an ETA was entered for the first time for a lacking part, meaning that Purchasing did the first supplier order and got ETA confirmed
  5. All ETAs Provided shows when an ETA was entered for all the lacking parts, meaning that all lacking parts have been ordered by Purchasing
  6. Picking Completed On shows when all parts have been picked, in other words there are no lacking parts remaining
  7. Production Started shows when WO has been moved from the Parts Picking step to the next task
  8. Production Finished shows when the WO was moved into PACKING step, but some flows don’t have a task with that name. Here’s the full list:
  9. Battery Cable, KIT, MFA (Brackets), MFA (HMA), PARTS, PRO1, PRO2, Replacement Harness: when the WO was moved into "PACKING"
  10. MFA (HME): when the WO was moved into "FINAL INSPECTION & PACKAGING"
  11. Harness Enclosure, Dummy: when the WO was moved into "DONE"
  12. Actual Shipment Date is taken from the Shipping Invoice. If there are multiple invoices, the latest shipment date will be shown.

  


  1. The Lacking Parts field functions similarly to the one on the Order Summary screen (Work Order level):
  2. Shows the number of lacking parts, aka number of products of type “Part – NOT manufactured” that are lacking.
  3. It is a sum of the number of lacking parts of all of the descendant Work Orders. Descendant Work Orders are children, grandchildren etc. of a Work Order, which produce sub-assemblies needed by the parent WO. For example, a Kit WO has a child MFA(HMA) WO which also has a child Harness WO. If all of these work orders lack the same part, the number 3 will be added to the count of lacking parts for Kit (the lacking part will be counted once for each WO if it lacks from each one). A working example in the Vision system is parent WOM-00029691 (Kit), child WOM-00029729 (MFA(HMA) and grandchild WOM-00030324 (PRO1). To clarify: for example, if only the grandchild WO needs a certain part, it will only be counted only once.
  4. The traffic lights have tooltips to explain their colors.

  1. Unconfirmed Lacking Parts (Yellow):

  5. ·The latest eta excludes manufactured parts and only takes into consideration products with type of “Parts – NOT manufactured”.



  1. The Purchase Order field now works for generated child Work Orders also, it will reference the PO of the parent WO:
