MES WorkQueue - Auto End Activity for a number of jobs at once

Hello, I have a requirement to ‘close off’ a number of job operations at once from the workqueue.
The operation is a filler to aid scheduling but needs to be started and ended so that the next work centre knows that work is coming.
I have created a data directive on LaborDtl to ‘complete’ the operation as soon as the record is created but i need to ‘close’ the operation on joboper.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Alan
