When we receive a large order, we have 1 job, but often we will have multiple production workers working the job. Since the job can only be assigned to 1 person, I understand it only shows up in MES for 1 person(the assignee) resulting in us not being able to collect labor for more than 1 person on …

Out-of-the-box Epicor has no restriction on the number of people who can simultaneously be clocking labor on any particular operation. When the second person tries to clock in, are you getting an error message?

Ernie so even without an operation having crew size 2… multiple people can start activity on the same job, op?

when clocking in to a job that someone is already clocked to, base epicor will have this red message at the top but nothing will stop the employee from clicking ok to start production activity. @embedded just to clarify, you are using MES for clocking? @hkeric.wci Crew size wont impact this. crew …

Try changing your crew size on this job/operation. Then see if they still get the message.

@Craig , yes we are using MES.

How are your resources and operations set up?

@craig I’m not familiar with resources in Epicor, it sounds like this is something I should be familiar with so we can review how it’s setup. From a 50k ft view what do resources do in relation to labor on jobs? In regards to Operations, I assume you are asking what Labor Reporting Resource we are …

Just make sure only one operator is reporting the completed quantity. Except for that, there are no limits to how many folks can clock an operation.

Resources/ resource groups are where capacity lives (if you ever run a finite capacity shop). Resources are the where / who is doing the work. resources / groups are site specific. Operations are the Verbs. The actions that are being done. operations do not have to be site specific. Operations wil…

So what you’re really asking is “how can I still show the operation on the Work Queue so ADDITIONAL operators see it as available?” That is going to be dependent on job and/or resource group setup… and @Craig and @Beth are pointing you in the right directions.

@embedded Try changing the crew size in the Scheduling Resources tab of a job:

Note that as @Ernie said, this will affect job costing.
