Good morning, We are testing out using a barcode scanner to expedite users entering data into MES. I guess I didn’t realize how many steps the users have to go through. I setup my barcode scanner to auto tab after each scan. Start Production/Setup Activity: Click “Login”. Type/Scan in employee I…

In Classic MES it was very important to have the employee photo display so users would not report on someone else’s labor reporting. I see in Kinetic MES the employee photo is no longer displayed.

My bad, I see employee photo’s do display in MES.

We have done a lot of barcoding in our MES. MES Main Form: We added a text box called ScanValue… the trick is to place it so it is in-focus. We have barcodes set up for values like: STARTPROD STARTSU STARTREWORK Etc. … all of these are printed out and posted next to our kiosks. The user has t…

[image] dcamlin: On our routings/travelers… we created (1) barcode which includes the Job, assembly, and operation separated by a chosen variable “$A” for example. This gives the user only (1) barcode to scan. That value lands in a textbox bound to TransView.ScanValue (or something to that effec…

I’ve also done a chain event using multiple row updates… this provides the system time to load in-between each “tab”. If that helps. Here’s a link to a little background: [image] Move inventory - barcode/Datamatrix scanner inconsistency Kinetic ERP This sounds like ther…

Trying not to hijack the thread here, as I’ve been having a think about this also (we’re just starting our journey to using MES). Would there be an opportunity to configure a prefix into the barcode (some barcode guns can also prefix/suffix scans as well), and having the barcode contain a series of…

So, I am looking for some help with the BPM as I don’t know C# code and I am very new to Kinetic and BPMs…this is what I’ve got. foreach (var row in ttLaborDtl) { if (row.RowMod != "") // Only modify rows that have been changed { string sourceValue = row.Combined_Job_Assy_Op_Data_c ?? …

Hi Duane, Which business object and method are you using to trigger this? Thanks, Nathan

[image] dstanton: “The name ‘ttLaborDtl’ does not exist in the current context”. I believe as of 2021.1, the “tt”-aliases were replaced with “ds”-aliases. Older BPMs and such were to be updated automatically when systems were upgraded, but if you’re creating something new, I would try “ds” n…

Is there a specific reason you are having them log in/out for every activity? Having them clock in once at the start of the day and clock out once at the end of the day would save you a ton of steps. Also if they are running a lot of jobs concurrently it might be worth checking out Work Queue it a…

Hi @ServantOMallard,

Erp.BO.Labor.Update is what I am using with a Pre-Processing directive. This is the first BPM I have done, so I am very new to how these function. Thank you for any help you can provide!
