Starting an operation

Button	Step
	Open the operations form.
	Use the Times box to specify a valid combination of 'Labor/machine/Labor+Machine' and 'Setup time/Adjustment time/Cycle time'.
	Select an operation.
	Click this button to start the operation.

When you start an operation, the next form is opened. There are two possible scenarios now:

'Labor' or 'Labor+Machine' has been selected: The Current operation form is opened.
'Machine' has been selected: The Current machine operations form is opened.

Note: An employee can have only one current operation at a time. The 'Start operation' button is not available if a current operation is registered to your name. It is always possible, however, to start a machine operation. The reason is that machine operations are only registered to machine hours, and not to labor hours.
