You can add tracking information by piece mark in the Piece Tracking dialog box. You can record the stations that the piece mark has completed, the date, and the hours used. Piece-tracking records can also be added if the station is set as the TFS station in a route or assigned to an inspection.

1. In the Select Production Control Job, select a job.
2. Do either of the following:
   • On the Production Control ribbon tab, select Piece Tracking.

   • In the job dialog box, click Piece Tracking.

   The Station Summary dialog box opens.

3. To record information for completed items, click Add Completed.

   The Station - Add Completed dialog box opens.

4. Select a station in the Station list.

   

5. Click the arrow buttons to move the items that have completed the selected station to the Included list.

   If you cannot see all items that should be available, try selecting the Include If Previous Station Not Complete checkbox. When this checkbox is selected, items that have not yet completed the previous station on the route are also shown.

6. Click the arrow on the right side of the Completed By list and select the user that is adding the piece tracking information.
