1.1 ADD BULK PRODUCTION ENTRY:

Add a Production Entry - Step-by-Step:

Step 1: Reach the Bulk Production Entry Screen

• From the main Side menu, click on "Production and Quality", then go to "Operations", and finally choose "Bulk Production Entry". This will directly open the Bulk Production Entry page.

Step 2: Fill the Production Details

• Machine: (Mandatory) Select the Machine.
• Operator: (Mandatory) Select the Operator.
• Process Start Date and Time: (Mandatory) Select the Process start date and time.
• Process End Date and Time: (Mandatory) Select the Process end date and time.
• Part: (Mandatory) Select the Part.
• Control Plan: (Mandatory) Select the Control Plan.
• Process: (Mandatory) Select the Process.
• Batch: (Mandatory) Select the Batch.
  • If the selected process is an initial process, selecting a batch is required.
  • A toggle button next to the batch field allows displaying the child part batch list when enabled.
  • The remaining quantity will be reduced based on the production quantity added.
• Heat Code: (Mandatory) Enter the Heat Code.
• Serial Number: (Mandatory) Enter the Serial number.
  • If the selected process is an initial process, the serial number is auto-populated based on the heat code. If the heat code already exists, the system finds the maximum serial number and sets the next sequential number.
  • For other processes, the user must manually enter the starting serial number.

Fill in the required fields and click “Submit.”

• Upon clicking the “Submit” button, the system validates that the selected process has a defined cycle time for the chosen machine and process. If no cycle time exists, the user cannot add a production entry.
• Additionally, the batch's remaining quantity must be greater than zero.
• If all validations pass, the production entry can be submitted. If production details exist for the selected start and end date-time range, they will be displayed in a table format.

Step 3: Understanding Existing Production Details

• Total Idle Time: Total idle time (in minutes) for the selected date-time range.
• Part Status: Status of existing completed parts, including Approved, Conditional Approved, Machining Defect, and Casting Defect.
• Quantity: Count of completed parts corresponding to each part status.
• Cycle Time: Total cycle time of the existing production based on part status and quantity.

Step 4: Understanding the Production Details

• Selected Process Cycle Time: The cycle time displayed corresponds to the selected process and machine.
• Total Production Added Now: Production time (in minutes and seconds) calculated based on the current production entry.
• Total Idle Time Yet to Add: The total available time in the selected date range minus the total production time.

Step 5: Add Processed Quantity

• Quantity: Add completed processed quantity.
• Part Status: Status of the process completed part.
• Reason: If the part status is anything except “Approve,” the user should select a valid reason.

Fill the required fields and click “Add.” Upon clicking the “Add” button, the entry will be added to the table below. Production details will be automatically updated based on the production entry. The user can delete the added production entry if needed. Additionally, the user cannot add a processed quantity that exceeds the batch's remaining quantity.

Step 6: Validate Production

• Upon clicking the “Validate Production” button, the system verifies that the production entry time falls within the available time range.
• If there are existing production entries or idle time within the selected range, they will be deducted from the available time.
• The user cannot add a production entry that exceeds the available time range.
• If the production entry is less than the available time, the user must add idle time (in minutes) along with a reason to match the selected available production time.

Step 7: Idle Time Details

• Reason: Select the idle reason for the machine.
• Idle Time (Minutes): Enter the idle time in minutes for the selected reason.

Fill in the required fields and click “Submit.” Upon clicking the “Submit” button, the idle time entry will be added to the table below. Production details will be automatically updated. The user can delete the added idle time entry if needed. The total idle time will be reflected in the production details. Idle time should not go below zero; if it does, the user cannot add a production entry.

Step 8: Submit Production Details

• Upon clicking the "Submit Production Details" button, the system validates the production entry time and idle time minutes.
• The total of selected available production time - existing production time - existing idle time - current production entry time - current idle time minutes should equal zero.
• If the idle time does not match the remaining idle time, an alert message will be shown. The idle time must neither exceed nor be less than the pending idle time.

Heat Code & Serial Number Validation

• The system will validate the heat code and serial number before submission.
• If a duplicate heat code and start serial number are entered, the system will display an alert message with a link.
• Clicking the link will open a popup containing a list of duplicate heat serial numbers, with a filter option to search for verification.

Process Validation

• If the selected process is not an initial process, the system will not allow submission unless the previous process is completed.
• If the previous process is incomplete, a link will be provided. Clicking the link will open a popup showing the incomplete heat serial numbers, with a filter option for verification.

Override Option

• If the selected process has the override option enabled (Yes), the system will only validate duplicate serial numbers and will not check whether the previous process is completed.
• The user must resolve all validation errors before submitting the production entry.

Note: We can view the added production entry in the Control Task Report, where the task type is marked as Bulk Entry.
