UC5 · Step 1 of 3 — Job 0055 lights up the units field

Maria Rivera · Staffing Clerk · Dept 3630 / Line 5 · Tuesday, 06:00

Maria is staffing the morning. She clicks SO-447121 · 81224 Pickle Spears 32oz, which she immediately recognizes as a hand-pack run — Job 0055.

The Assignment Editor opens. The Units (job 0055) group box, which was greyed out and showing "n/a" for the job 0040 orders we saw in UC1, is now active and prompting for a case count.

What to notice on the Staffing Board

• The status badge for SO-447121 says UNITS in amber — a friendly reminder that a unit count is expected for this order.
• The shop-order list shows job code 0055 in the Job column. The status badge is derived from that code, not entered separately.

What the editor knows

• The team for SO-447121 is Team A1 with 6 hand packers assigned, 06:00–10:30 each. (Maria already staffed the team earlier; this step focuses on the units capture.)
• The team total is 27.00 hours.
• Because the job code is 0055, the Units group box becomes the primary control. The TTS panel stays in "n/a" because this isn't a spread order.

Why the field is conditional

A common request is to "always show every possible field, just in case." We deliberately don't, for two reasons:

1. Lower error rate. A clerk who never sees a units field on a 0040 activity will never accidentally enter a count there.
2. Visual signal. When the field does appear, it's a cue: this order needs unit capture today.

What Maria does not see yet

The actual count. She'll enter it at the end of the activity (10:30), when she knows how many cases the team packed. That's covered in the next step.
