I made a lobby that shows all of our parts received from shop orders and their location, if the location is not one of the warehouse locations, as well as if there are any reservations on those items. It refreshes on an interval (the value of which I can’t remember) and the lines link to the move inventory part page, with the transfer of part and lot info. You could likely do something similar, but using your own criteria.
I actually tried the availability control - but we weren’t using W/D/R so each instance of the availability control applied to a part number/lot number worked to make the initial move to a location, but I could not make subsequent moves work when moving to the same location. When I get a chance I will pull together screenshots. I had thought we could “move” to the approval location and then see it handled thereafter. It mostly works… unless there is a combination of moves of the same part no/lot no into the same location at the same time.
Thank you Gary - we will likely end up using a custom field. I was just trying to make sure there wasn’t already a place for this I did not know about.
In what circumstances would you not want an employee to see the shop orders onto which they can clock on? If they’re providing a barcode via paperwork and they want the users to only scan the barcode for the job at hand, that might be one scenario. We populate the available shop order operations with filters, but we also have some users scanning the operation ID barcode to only return that specific operation in the workbench. It seems to help make sure they’re selecting the correct operation to clock into instead of possibly choosing the wrong one from what is sometimes a rather lengthy list. Another reason might just be that sometimes if you have a lot of orders, the workbench takes some time to populate.
Can you set up a saved search from within Search In Context (right mouse button option when in the components table) to achieve this? The downside to that, if it would work, would be that it wouldn’t take effect until you ran it after the top level search.
