"Bob" can't 'fix' his records (at least many of the details in an MES labor record) from MES.
Just ask your people to report errors when they realize they've made them and have a supervisor (or manager) go to Labor Entry in Vantage, call up his record and correct it.
Adding more records in an attempt to 'fix' usually makes it worse.

The answers:
1. There is two ways to solve your problem. First, you can enter one
in the current quantity and come back later to add another labor
entry. But, when you make the second entry do not enter anything into
the current quantity and be sure to mark it complete. If you do enter
a quantity (of 1 for this example) the system will show two units
produced. Second, you can do the opposite. When the machine broke
you could have put a quantity of 0 and make the labor entry. Then
come back to that operation when the machine is working and make the
second labor entry with one in the quantity and mark it complete.
2. The difference between Complete and Opr Complete comes down to
setup. Complete applies to both production labor and setup labor.
So, if you wanted to make a labor entry for just setup (which is
completely done) you would put 100% of setup complete and check this
box. Make sure the Opr Complete is not checked. This tells the
system that setup is complete and production still needs to be done.
Then when you do produce the material, you would want to make another
labor entry and include the units produced in the quantity field, and
mark both Opr Complete and the Complete checkboxes. Opr Complete
should only be checked when everything is complete.
Hope this helps, if not just reply.
