I read in an entry from 2019 that there’s a site or company-wide setting that will enforce completeness of previous ops before allowing work on succeeding ones. I have not been able to locate this flag. Is this an actual system setting and if not, is this doable via a BPM?
Hi Cathy,
I just made a BPM for this. I did not find an easier way before creating the BPM.
I used a dynmaicquery call in custom code to call a BAQ to find previous operation data.
Our users only wanted to make certain operations manditory, so I created a UD field on operation master to define this.
I bet there is something in my process that could be better, but it’s working 
Let me know if you would like any more details.
You can use Shop Warning to display a pop up message to the operator and send an alert to management and rely on them to enforce compliance.
Thank you for letting me know this is available. Since the warnings are available, I will need to see if that will suffice (I am guessing not). If management wants actual stopping if the previous op isn’t complete, I will reach out to you. Thanks

Thank you for letting me know about this. We will start here.
Be aware that this does not work when using the Work Queue sadly.
