The Operation tab on the Order form displays detailed information about the operations for the selected Order. You can view information such as Operation Status, Work Center, and Labor Standards. Some of this information is defined for the operation on the Charge Element form; most of this information is imported to the application from an external system or ERP.
By default, you can modify the Operation Status. You can modify additional properties (e.g. Labor Standard Hours, Labor Standard Basis) if you enable these fields in your Form Profile.
Note: You cannot modify, delete, or replace a work order transaction that has an operation that is COMPLETE. To display an error message when the user attempts to delete such a transaction, make sure the user is assigned an Order Policy that has Update on Cancel checked.

If you have Allow Quantity Skip checked in your Order Policy, then only count point operations will receive quantity when quantity is completed on the Previous Operation Number.
If you do not have Allow Quantity Skip checked in your Order Policy, then quantity will move based on the Next Operation Number and Previous Operation Number for the order.
In the illustration below, Operation 20 is not a count point. When quantity is completed on Operation 10 and Allow Quantity Skip is checked in the Order Policy, the completed quantity will move to the next Count Point (Operation 30). If Allow Quantity Skip is not checked, the completed quantity will move to the Next Operation Num (Operation 20).
See Skip Quantity on Non Count Point Operations for more information.
