Report Downtime

Report Downtime for work centers and work resources against operations

General

This workflow helps the shop floor user to report when there is any production downtime due to reasons like machine breakdown, material shortage, etc. while doing the production or setup. The user can report when the operations are up and running again so that the system can capture the reason and the time spent on the downtime.
