We are looking for a controlled way that users can add/update comments in the PartOpr table without them going through the engineering workbench.
I have tried a couple of approaches within an updateable BAQ, I can get as far as checking out the part into an ECOgroup but can not get the comments to update and check back in as approved.
Has anyone done something similar and can give me some pointers?
We are currently on Kinetic 2023.2.10.
If you have DMT, it is your best friend in these situations. It’s not a lot of columns and it will do the check out, update the comment, and do the check in.
Hi Mark,
Thanks for your response.
We use DMT regularly, however, in this case we are looking for shopfloor to be able to update comments on our packing operations directly into Epicor (we can limit to the one field and operation through the BAQ filters)
We restrict engineering workbench to our engineers only.
We are after something that looks simple for shopfloor to use but really not sure if it is possible.
Yes, and…
We are bypassing Engineering in this case.
Another option might be to allow users to update the comment on the job and then launch a function that runs the same logic as the UBAQ.
We do something “similar” with run rate changes. Right know it’s a PowerAutomate form that is sent to engineering and then if they approve it, it updates the method. Having that approval between the user and engineering is nice. It also gives audit so we know how many requests were made and when.
Just another thought.
Thanks, i’ll look into these 
Looks interesting - i’ll take a look, thank you
