Sign Off

Explanation

Use this activity to sign off an operation subtask. This is compulsory in order to close an operation where the Sign Off field has been set to Required. This procedure is normally performed by a shop floor worker.

This activity contains a Security Checkpoint which can be activated by an administrator. With an activated security checkpoint on a function you will have to authenticate yourself again in order to fulfill the function. Additionally, whenever a security checkpoint is successfully passed a security checkpoint log is written, creating an audit trail of what is done.

Prerequisites

• A work guideline of type Subtask must have been connected to the operation in the Shop Order Operation Work Guidelines window.
• The operation must not be in status Planned.
• The shop order must not be in status Planned, Parked or Closed.

System Effects

The subtask will be signed off using the current User ID and date/time.
