Closing Jobs on the shop floor

We don't use the MES in 8.00, but I don't think this makes a
difference. The Complete box you see in job tracker ties not to the
complete box that self-checks in your MES screen (Labor Entry screen
for us), but is related to the Job Completion / Closing
Maintenance "Complete" checkbox that you need to manually check. We
have shop supervisors check the job Complete when they are done with
it, but they do not check the Closed box, we leave that for the
beancounters to do after they've looked it over for costing issues.

Ok I am new at this. We are on 8.0. We have trouble with jobs not
completing in the system. About 2% of the time we have to log into the
job and log out again to get it to complete. Has anybody run into this
before.

What procedure are you using to "Complete" Jobs?

Let me reframe the question. Correct description would be that we
have trouble with operations showing as complete. The operator clocks
out of the job and enters the correct quantity. The operation shows
complete on the MES screen but when you look at the job in job
tracker there is no green check mark on the operation. The operation
still shows up on job que.

Are you set up to relieve scheduled load by qty rpt'd complete x standard unit process time OR are you set up to relieve load by actual reported scheduled time?

The latter can cause the results you describe.
