Digital Inspection Sign Off of Operation Subtasks
Explanation
You can perform digital inspection sign off for an operation subtask. This is compulsory in order to close a
shop order where the Inspection Sign Off Required field on a subtask has been set to Required
to Close Shop Order. This procedure is normally performed by an inspector. It is possible to revoke the
inspection sign off.
IFS Signature Service requires the users to use an additional authentication device, YubiKey, for digital sign
off. More information on the setup of digital signature can be found here.
To perform this activity from:
- The Shop Order Operation Work Guidelines page, select the subtask/s and then click
Digital Inspection Sign Off. To open this page, select an operation on the Shop
Order/Operation tab and click Work Guidelines.
- The Shop Order Work Guidelines page, select the subtask/s and click Digital
Inspection Sign Off.
- The Shop Floor Workbench page, select an operation, expand the operation and select
a guideline on the Guidelines tab. Select the subtask/s and click Digital Inspection
Sign Off.
- The Operation Guide assistant, for the selected operation, in the
Instructions and Subtasks section. Select the subtask/s and click Digital Inspection
Sign Off.
