A list of stops that can be categorized will be shown.

Now you can select a stop cause based on the tree structure of the stop causes:

A full description of this window can be found in How to use stop reason tree structure under the section Categorize a stop.

A full description of commenting on stops can be found in How to comment on stops.

You can configure the list of stops, that can be categorized, to be updated automatically when it is open. See Auto update of "Categorize stops".

You can also update the list manually by click the refresh icon:

Add rejects

You can register produced items that was rejected:

You can manually add rejects to the current order, if you have set your unit's Rejects registered by to User.

If you manually change the order, then you need to provide the total amount of rejects for the current order:

Because changing the order manually with Rejects registered by set to User, will overwrite the current order's rejects if there is a difference between your input and the registered rejects in current order before ending it.

The point of the using the Report rejects control, is that you can on the fly report the rejects as they occur and have this shown in the reports like Reports->Period, if you wait with reporting the rejects until you stop the current stop, then this will result in one timestamp for all the rejects.
