Feature - Operation Pre and Post Comment Event Support

Feature - Operation Pre and Post Comment Event Support

Release Date: 4/15/26
Version: 8.5 and above

This feature adds support to trigger an event when the user enters a pre or post comment when logging time for a plus work order or a special operation through Bill of Material Processor-> Processing-> Work Order Production. The entry of pre and post comments for operations used during the production of a plus work order is enabled for an operation via Bill of Material Processor->Maintenance-> Product Routing File-> fields Prompt Pre Comment and Prompt Post Cmt.



This can also be changed on a work order by work order basis by modifying the settings once the routing is copied to the work order.

The entry of pre and post comments for special operations is enabled for an operation via Bill of Material Processor->Maintenance-> Special Operation File-> fields 5. Prompt For Pre-Comment and 6. Prompt For Post-Comment.



If either flag is set to Y, the user will be prompted to enter a comment when either starting or ending production or work on a special operation. Events are now triggered when the comments are entered. 

The events are registered by launching:
  1. Bill of Material Processor-> Processing-> Work Order Production
  2. Bill of Material Processor-> Inquiry-> Operator Inquiry
  3. System Utilities-> System Files Setup-> Maintenance-> Operator File
You can subscribe to these events from:
  1. Bill of Material Processor-> Inquiry-> Operator Inquiry
  2. System Utilities-> System Files Setup-> Maintenance-> Operator File
