You use this activity to display and approve the completion of a manufacturing activity performed on a shop floor electronically in the Standard POD.

To log a buyoff, the user should have appropriate permissions. The permissions to perform the buyoff in the POD are specified in the Buyoff Maintenance (see Buyoff Maintenance) and are as follows:

  • Accept

    Allows the user to accept the buyoff in the POD

  • Partial

    Allows the user to partially complete the buyoff in the POD

    Note that when the buyoff is logged as Partial, the user has to fill in the Comment field indicating the portion of the work performed.

  • Reject

    Allows the user to reject or satisfy the buyoff in the POD

    Note that when a buyoff is logged as Reject, the user needs to fill in the Comment field

  • Skip

    Allows the user to either perform or not perform the buyoff in the POD

The user belonging to a certain user group can also log a buyoff. You can specify user groups in the Buyoff Maintenance.
