Important

When creating a process definition in NPI, a user certification can be added to an operation. All users with that certification applied (both trainee and non-trainee) can carry out work on this operation in Production. A user who has a trainee type certification can start the operation/WIP transaction in Production, but can't finish it without signoff by a user with the same certification who is a non-trainee. This is done through a login prompt where the certified non-trainee user provides credentials. After a successful signoff by the non-trainee user, the WIP transaction is finished.(If the login prompt is cancelled by the non-trainee user, the WIP transaction will not finish.)

The user who signed off the work of the trainee is recorded to the Audit Log database table as a new function of type “Supervisor Signoff”. This audit record contains the batch and the operation where the signoff was performed, and the product barcode (if the batch is serialized) is added to the “ScanInfo” field.

  1. Select the Trainee check box next to each certification for this user where signoff for an operation in Production by a non-trainee will be required.

  2. To change the role of this user, select the Add Add button button under Roles, select a role from the Available Roles drop-down in the Add Role dialog, then select OK.

  3. When you are satisfied with the details for this user, select Save.
