Scenario: Shop floor Employees are advising that upon reporting the are regularly seeing a pop up on their screen. Solution(s): There are 2 different type of pop ups that employees could be seeing. Firstly we need to distinguish between the two.
Tracking of performance abnormalities LYNQ has the ability to track performance abnormalities. These are calculated based on the routing vs actual execution . Thresholds can be set to determine when an employee is required to report the cause of the abnormality, issues are then created to track these. If employees regularly report performance abnormalities consider whether routings should be adjusted to reflect more realistic run times or whether corrective actions should be put in place to reduce the abnormalities such as machine maintenance.
Validations based on Good or scrap quantity, Status, Material issues or rejects or General rules. Validation rules allow you to authenticate transactions being generated by your employee for better data integrity as well as minimising potential transaction posting errors. For example if it is impossible for an employee to produce a higher quantity than the planned quantity then you may want to prevent them from reporting more. You may also want to enforce reporting of serialised or Lotted items when this value has not been populated. Validation Rules can be set as Do Not Validate, Warn or Prevent. If you want to have different terminals with different validation rules, make a copy of the On Screen Element and apply it to your terminal. If employees are regularly seeing validation rules it could be that they require additional training on reporting or you may wish to review these settings to ensure they meet your needs.
Both Performance abnormalities and Validation rules are managed within reporting options.
