You can define the start time of the operations involved in a production order. To do this, go to Manufacturing/Entries/Operations control. Define the relevant criteria, and click Refresh. You will see a list of production orders. Select the production order you want to maintain and click the Sorting sequence button. By defining the start time of operations, the operations will be sorted automatically according to the defined start time within the same production order.
This functionality is enabled when you select the Operations check box at System/General/Settings/Manufacturing settings, Operations section.
Once the Sorting sequence button is clicked, the following options are available:
This displays the start date of the operation in the production order. This cannot be edited.
This displays the end date of the operation in the production order. This cannot be edited.
Type the start time of the operation involved in the production order.
Click OK to save the defined start time for the operation. This will automatically sort the operations within a production order according to the defined start time.
Click Cancel to not save the defined start time for the operation.
