Perform Operation Activity
Application component: Shop Floor Execution
App type: Transactional
Line of business: Manufacturing
Leading industry: Cross Industry
Solution capability: Extended Production Operations (S/4)
Description:  With this app, you as production operator can perform and record work on the operation activities assigned to you by your production supervisor. The app contains everything you need to carry out your work, giving you full visibility of the tasks to be performed on the shop floor at operation activity level. Besides displaying key data that you need, the app has integrated functions that allow you to quickly deal with any issues you encounter in production and thus react accordingly. To ensure smooth processing, the app determines whether it is possible to start the operation activity – for example, whether the predecessor activity has been completed, no holds exist, or that the user has the required qualifications. It also determines the available actions according to the assigned status and action schema. In addition, enhanced capabilities are provided for collecting data on serialized materials and batches for genealogy and traceability purposes. You can use this app if the role Production Operator - Discrete Manufacturing (EPO) is assigned to your user. 
Perform Operation Activity application allows production operators to perform operation activity on a serial number or an order, by executing Start, Skip, Pause or Complete actions. The application provides graphical as well as textual representation of what is planned for an operation activity, such as 3D and text work instructions, list of components to be assembled, or data parameters to be collected, equipment to be used, etc. With the help of this application the operator can record production progress for a specific serial number or an order.
Key features:    Perform actions (such as start, complete, skip, or pause) on operation activities depending on the status and action schema assigned.   View a 3D visual of what is to be assembled, switch between current progress and the complete MBOM, and click components to see exactly where they are to be assembled.   View PMI data in the 3D visual.   Display the current scene orientation in the 3D viewer and select predefined camera positions.   Display variant configuration information.   View work instructions (WIs) and attachments, including interactive WIs (for example, with PMI-enriched 3D visuals, equipment registration, and so on).   View the variable-size item attributes for BOM items of the item category, Variable-Size Item in the components tables.Note This information is not available when working with interactive work instructions.   Add unplanned components and inspection characteristics.   Add unplanned materials to assemble a material that is not one of the components in the BOM associated with the routing.   Receive change alerts in case of an engineering change.   Collect serial or batch number and quantity of the component.   Collect inspection characteristics as necessary.   View assigned PRTs (including registrable PRTs).   Register and unregister both planned and unplanned PRTs and branch to the Track Tool Usage app.   Set and release holds on the order, material, operation, work center, or serial number.   Approve operation activities for buyoff.   View an action log for an operation activity.   Post yield and scrap quantities and perform actions for a non-serialized material.   Record defects.   Disassemble components that are to be disassembled as part of either unplanned or planned disassembly.  Note You see those components that were previously assembled in the same production order.    Select reference designators that have been assigned to component instances.   Check the as-built list of components when processing a rework operation activity.   Create attachments and display documents attached in the shop floor routing (header or OA), production order, and production version.   Display MRS information and phantom hierarchy details for components.
