Finalizing a shift

Shifts that are in the past can be finalized. The following applies for a finalized shift:

• The shift and its downtimes can no longer be edited or deleted.
• Various indicators (KPIs such as OEE, degree of utilization, productivity) are calculated asynchronously in the database, meaning that evaluations over a longer period of time (e.g. multiple years) are also possible. Consolidating Shifts.

The shift should always be finalized when all the necessary data (where applicable, part counts, downtimes, number of workers, etc.) has been entered in the system. This should take place in real time once a shift has ended.

Shifts that have already been finalized can have their "finalized" status rescinded. Unlocking shift finalization.
