Auto Assigns of Processes
Sometimes the same Employee or Employees always carry out a particular Process, for example Bill Bloggs may always do the Assembly Process.
In this instance an Auto Assign for a Process can be set up. Note that only an Administrator can set these up.
An Auto Assign for a Process is like a rule that says, for example, automatically send all Assembly Tasks to Bloggs.
An Auto Assign for a Process is different from Auto Assigns of Product Processes in that it will Auto Assign all Tasks for that Process - rather than just Tasks for a particular Product and Process.
Auto Assigns for Processes will be overridden by Auto Assigns for Product Processes in the event of contention - i.e. the default will be Auto Assign for Processes.
The more Auto Assigns the better, as it saves time manually Assigning Tasks and reduces any human error factor involved in manually Assigning Tasks.
Auto Assigns can be set up for one or more Employees and also for one or more Work Centers. There is no limit on the number of Auto Assigns you can set up.
