Enter a daily production report
Choose a station and a shift, type how many good and bad pieces each product made, and submit. Bizconnekt spreads the pieces across the station's started work orders for you.
Quick add
- Click + beside the DPR row under Production in the left menu, or click Add DPR next to the tabs on the DPR screen.
- Pick the Station. Check the Work day and the Shift.
- For each product, type Good pieces and, if any, Bad pieces. Leave the products you did not make this shift empty.
- Click Check and submit, check the list, then click Submit.
Done. You see '1 line submitted' (or the number of lines). Each line posts as soon as its work orders and materials allow.
Full guide
A field marked with a red star on the form is required. The page is a station, a work day and a shift at the top, with a table of the products the station makes below.
Station, work day and shift
Fields in this section
| Field | Required | What to enter |
|---|---|---|
| Station | Yes | The machine or facility you are reporting for. Only stations open to you are listed. Bizconnekt remembers your last choice on this device. |
| Work day | Yes | Starts on the station's current work day, so a night shift counts toward the day it began. You cannot pick a future day. Unless your role has Back-date Production, you can only report for the current work day. |
| Shift | Yes, if the station runs shifts | Starts on the shift running now. If no shift is running and you have not picked one, you see "Pick the shift you are reporting for". |
A report belongs to one station, one work day and one shift. If you already reported for that combination, the new lines are added to the same report, so you never end up with two reports for the same shift.
Good and bad pieces
Below the header is one row for each product the station makes.
Fields in this section
| Column | What it shows or asks |
|---|---|
| Product | The item's code and name. An Assigned to you tag shows when one of its job cards is assigned to you, and those products are listed first. An N entered tag shows how many lines you already entered for it in this report. |
| Still to make | How many pieces the station's started work orders still need. You can report up to this many good pieces. |
| Waiting to post | Pieces entered on an earlier report and not posted yet. They are taken off what is still to make, so they are not counted twice. Empty when there are none. |
| Good pieces | How many good pieces were made this shift. Must be above zero. Shows "Up to N" as a hint. |
| Bad pieces | How many pieces were bad. Leave empty if none. |
| Who made these | Only where a stage pays by the piece. See below. |
You do not have to enter every product. Only the rows you fill in are sent.
Click the arrow at the start of a row to open its details, with two tabs. Work orders lists the work orders the pieces will go to, with Stage, Left, Due and Status. A work order that takes pieces says Takes pieces. One that cannot take them yet says On hold, with the reason: not started yet, or the stage is waiting for inspection. Already entered lists the lines already entered for this product in this shift, with their state and the buttons described in Follow and fix lines. The row opens by itself when it needs your answer.
Bad pieces
When you type a number in Bad pieces, the row opens and asks three more things. Good pieces must still be above zero.
Fields in this section
| Field | Required | What to enter |
|---|---|---|
| Why bad | Yes | Damaged, Dimension out of spec, Wrong item, Short shelf life, Contaminated, Packaging, Documentation or Other. |
| Where they go | No | Not set, Rework, Scrap or Hold for QC. With Not set, the pieces are held for QC if a quality rule covers the item; otherwise the stage's own default applies, or rework if the stage has none. They stay at the stage's location. |
| Note | No | A short remark about the bad pieces, up to 500 characters. |
If you pick a destination, it is applied unless a quality rule covers the item, in which case the pieces are held for QC.
Who made these (piece-rate stages)
When a stage pays by the piece, the table gets a Who made these column. Pick the worker who made the pieces. For a second worker click Add a worker, then enter the pieces each one made. The names must add up to Good pieces; a running total such as "6 of 10 assigned" shows under the rows. If there is only one possible worker, Bizconnekt picks them for you.
If you see "No one can be credited", no active worker has the skill the stage needs. Ask an admin to add the skill to the worker, then enter the report.
Input lots
Where lot tracking is on, and your role has access to production costing, a row that uses lot-tracked materials shows an Input lots line with an estimate of how much will be used. Open it to choose which lots to draw. Leave it alone to let Bizconnekt pick. If a chosen lot causes trouble later, you can choose Pick automatically instead on the line.
Check and submit
A red message under a row says what to fix, and the bar at the bottom says how many rows need fixing, for example "1 row needs fixing before you can submit". The same bar shows a summary such as "2 items · 30 good · 4 bad". Common messages:
| Message | What to do |
|---|---|
| Only N of the item are left to make on started work orders here | Enter N or less. If you really made more, ask your planner for another work order. |
| Nothing is left to make of the item on this station's work orders | Everything planned is already reported. Ask your planner for another work order. |
| A work order hasn't been started yet | You can still submit. The line is saved and posts by itself once a planner starts the work order. |
| A stage is waiting for its inspection result | Same: it posts by itself once the inspector records the result. |
| Choose why the bad pieces are bad | Pick a reason under Why bad. |
| Pick who made these | On a piece-rate stage, name the workers and make their pieces add up. |
| This would split across N work orders | A line can go to at most 10 work orders. Enter it in two lines. |
Click Check and submit. The button shows how many lines you are sending. A window lists each product with its good and bad pieces and the work orders it goes to. Click Submit, or Back to change something.
You see "N lines submitted — each posts as soon as its inputs allow." Most lines post within moments. You do not need to stay on the screen. The Already entered section on the same screen follows the lines of this shift.
Import, export and print
There is no spreadsheet import for this report, and no email or PDF of the entry screen. A report is kept as a list of lines you can open and read afterwards. See Follow and fix lines.
On mobile
On the phone, open Daily Production Report from the menu and tap +. You pick the station, work day and shift, then see one card per product with the same Still to make, Waiting to post and work-order details. Enter Good and the bad pieces (with the reason, destination and note), the workers on piece-rate stages, and the input lots. A Remarks (optional) box is at the bottom. Tap Check and submit, then Submit.
The phone can enter a report without signal. It keeps the entry on the phone, shows an Unsent (N) chip and sends it when you are back online. A work day that is not the station's current one shows Back-dated, and needs Back-date Production on your role. An entry kept on the phone for more than a day before it is sent also counts as back-dated. Open this station once while online first, so its products are on the phone.
Same on iPhone and Android. The Android app is on Google Play. The iPhone app is coming soon to the App Store.
Scenarios
Problems and fixes
I cannot find DPR in the menu, or there is no Add DPR button
If the DPR row is missing from the menu, the business unit has not been switched on, or your role has no View on Daily Production Report. See Why you may not see it. If the row is there but there is no Add DPR button, your role is below Edit. Ask an admin for Edit on Daily Production Report.
"No station is open to you"
Every station you can see has a supervisor list that does not include you. Ask an admin to list you in the station's Supervisors field under Resources.
"No open work orders use this station"
Nothing is started on this station. Start a work order, or check that the route names this machine.
I cannot pick an earlier work day
Your role needs Back-date Production as well as Edit.
