Manufacturing Operation Tasks
After you save a WIP work order that has a designated routing, manufacturing operation tasks are created based on the routing.
Each of these tasks is a step that must be done for the assembly process to finish. After work for the task has been done, manufacturing operators can log progress against each task on a work order completion form.
To view a list of operation tasks:
-
Go to Transactions > Manufacturing > Enter Work Orders > List.
-
Click View next to the work order.
-
Click the Operations subtab.
The following links are displayed in the Work Order Operations table:
-
Edit – opens the editable Manufacturing Operation Task popup window.
-
Operation Sequence – opens the viewable Manufacturing Operation Task popup window.
-
Operation Name – opens the viewable Manufacturing Operation Task popup window.
-
Manufacturing Work Center – opens the viewable Static Employee Group popup window.
-
Predecessor – opens the viewable Manufacturing Operation Task popup window.
-
You can also modify tasks from the work order. Go to Transactions > Manufacturing > Enter Work Orders > List. Click Edit next to the work order to be edited. Then click the Operations subtab to view a list of operation tasks.
Add or Delete Tasks
From the work order Operations subtab, you can add a new operation task or you can delete an existing task. However, you can add or delete only the last task in the sequence.
Example: you have operation tasks with these sequence numbers: 10, 20, 30, 40.

After task records are created, you can open and modify them individually. For more information, see Manufacturing Operation Task.
