Manual Resequence Job Operations

Kinetic ERP

Business wants a larger gap between the operations in a job. They frequently have to add groups of operations between existing operations, and it is a hassle to get everything organized.

I want to create a routine that would resequence a job’s operations giving a large enough gap between operations for users to add a batch of operations on the fly.

I had thought of using REST API to manage the resequencing, but I could not get the
Erp.BO.JobEntrySvc/Update, Erp.BO.JobEntrySvc/UpdateExt, or Erp.BO.JobEntrySvc/ChangeJobOperOprSeq to work. The Update and UpdateExt method both will return a 200 status, but the data does not change. Every which way I have called the ChangeJobOperOprSeq, the service returns a 500 status. Epicor support has not been helpful with recommended usage of the services, and I am unsure how to get ChangeJobOperOprSeq method to execute within ERP application to show in a trace.

I cannot change the process business wants to take, so suggesting different path is a last resort.

Looking for advice and ideas!

Thanks
Curt

@ACurt Change joboprseq is only available in the UI just after adding a new operation before saving and once that is done the OprSeq is set. I am not aware of any way to set the natural sequence of 10 that resequencing does, but you could add placeholder operations between your real operations and then call ResequenceOperations which would separate them all by 10 and then you could delete the placeholders.
