Function documentationUnclaimed Standards Awarding Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

You can automatically award any unclaimed standards for an operation or SFC number using the Award_Unclaimed_Stds hook point activity (see Award Unclaimed Standards). You can use this function when your business process calls for all standards to be accounted for. If a user completes an operation without claiming all of the setup and run standards, then the remaining standards will not be claimed or awarded and the claimed standards will not equal the total earned standards defined for the operation. You can prevent such a situation by attaching the activity hook so that it processes. In this case, the system will automatically award the unclaimed standards and all standards will get awarded.

After the Complete activity is submitted and successfully executed for an operation that has the Award_Unclaimed_Stds activity attached, the operation status goes to Complete or Complete Pending and the activity calculates and awards any unclaimed standards for the operation. The activity hook will check all previously completed operations on the current routing to verify that all standards have been claimed/awarded and will award unclaimed standards as follows:

  • If there are previously completed operations on the current routing with unclaimed standards, they will be awarded.

  • If a user performs a complete of an operation for a quantity that is less than the SFC quantity (a partial complete), and no standards have been claimed for that operation, all of the setup standards and a prorated amount of the run standards will be awarded, according to the quantity being completed.

  • If any run standards have been claimed, the activity will award any unclaimed setup standards and a prorated amount of the run standards according to the quantity being completed minus any claimed standards.

  • If the claimed amount is more than the calculated amount for the prorated run standards, no run standards will be awarded.

  • If the operator submits the Complete action for the last open operation which does not have a buyoff attached and the complete transaction is successful, then the unclaimed operation and SFC level standards will be awarded and the SFC status then changes to Done.

  • If the operator submits the Complete action for the last open operation which does have a buyoff attached and the complete transaction is successful, then the unclaimed operation and SFC level standards will be awarded and the SFC status then changes to Complete Pending.

Note Note

The activity hook is active only if the SFC number is at the last operation on the production routing.

End of the note.

If you need to award all unclaimed standards regardless of whether or not the operation in on production routing, set the CHECK_ALL_STDS_LAST_OPER activity rule to TRUE. For more information, see Award Unclaimed Standards.

Recommendation Recommendation

If your site does individual performance measurement and more than one person works on a job, we recommend that each person who works on an operation and SFC number use the Earned Standards to claim standards. The user ID of the person who performs the Complete action is credited for the unclaimed standards awarded from the AWARD_UNCLAIMED_STDS hook point activity.

End of the recommendation.
