In production automation

The screenshot below shows the detail view of an In production automation rule.

The following details can be entered / edited:

• Rule activation

Your automation is effective only if you have ticked the Active checkbox in the top left of the tab header.

An automation rule can be marked as Active only if you have selected an inspection plan and specified at least one condition.

• Name

You can change the name of the automation rule.

• Inspection plan

Select the inspection plan you want to base your automatically created inspection orders on from the drop-down list.

• Sampling plan

Select the way you want to calculate the number of samples in your automatically created inspection orders from the drop-down list.

• Conditions

Use AND and/or OR operators to specify the conditions that a newly started production order in Produce / Operator needs to meet to invoke your automation rule. Clicking on the + sign allows you to add a new condition or a new group of conditions connected by an AND or an OR operator. A condition can refer to an operation, an item / product, an item / product group, an item / product property or a customer. Each of these elements can be associated with (required to be equal to or not equal to) a value to be selected from a drop-down list. For example, if you want your In production automation rule to take effect if the SAP Business One document is for the customer Microchips and on the item Printer Label, then use the following formula:

• Finalize automatically

Tick the Finalize automatically checkbox in the Post events card to close the order if it has passed.

It's important to point out that In production inspection orders can only be released manually by the inspection manager.
