How it works
First, activate the Developer mode. Click on the 'Settings' module, scroll down and activate the Developer mode. |

Click on the 'Apps' module, find the 'MRP WorkOrder Start/End Timing' module from the list, and click on the 'Activate' button. |

To activate the Cron, click on Settings-Technical-Scheduled Action, choose Auto Pause Work Orders, and activate it. |

Also, in the 'Next Execution Date' field, configure the Time of the next Cron's automatic activation. As this Cron activates every 5 minutes, you should change the Time by 5 minutes more. For example: If you install the new module at 17.00, change the Time to 17.05 |

Now click on the 'Settings' module, choose 'Manufacturing' from the left sidebar, and check the 'Work Orders', 'Work Order Dependencies' and 'Timer' checkboxes. |

Click on the 'Manufacturing' module. Click on the 'Operations', 'Manufacturing Orders' tab. Now create a new order by clicking on the 'New' button. |

Fill in the 'Product and Bill of Materials' fields. Also, add Components by clicking on the 'Add line' button. |

Now click on the 'Work Orders' tab and add Operation and Work Orders. Pay attention! You should add the necessary columns from the list. Click on the 'Save' and 'Confirm' buttons, and the 'Start/Block' buttons will be displayed on Work Orders tab. |


To configure the Time of Start/Pause in Work Orders, click on the Configuration-Settings tab from the 'Manufacturing' module. Pay attention! The Time of Start or Pause is indicated by a comma and without spaces. |

Now, open your Manufacturing order, click on the Work Orders tab. To Start the Work Order, click on the 'Start' button. The 'Times Auto Start' will activate, but the working process will start based on Time configurations. Pay attention! The Work Order will start automatically only if it has the status 'In Progress' |


For example: the Time Auto Start is 9.00, and the user clicks on the 'Start' button at 8.45. The working process will start only at 9.00 Pay attention! The Work Order will start automatically only if it has the status 'In Progress' Also, the user is able to change the Start/Pause of working using his/her own Time on Manufacturing Order page. Pay attention! The Time difference shouldn't be less than 10 minutes |
