Time tracking plan

Use this field to assign a code to this entry transaction.
This transaction determines the way in which information is entered in the associated function, and how information is displayed and printed.
Upon validation of this entry transaction, entry screens are created which can be used by any user with the defined access code in their profile when accessing the associated function. If multiple transactions are available to the user they can choose which one to use when loading the associated function; if only one transaction has been set up they are not offered a choice, the default entry screen is displayed.

Use this field to identify this transaction.

Use this check box to activate (field Active=selected) or deactivate (field Active=clear) this record.

Inactive records are not available for selection.

This access code is used to restrict access to data by user or group of users.
If this field is entered, only users with this access code in their profile can use this transaction.
If several transactions are available, you can choose the transaction you want to use to open the function. If only one transaction is available, there is no selection to be made: the default entry screen opens directly.

Use this field to restrict access to this transaction to a specific site/company group.

Click (select) this check box if recording time against an operation for a work order is authorized for this entry transaction; if recording time against an operation for a work order is not authorized for this entry transaction, leave clear.

Click (select) this check box if recording the production time and actual quantities of an operation without a work order (operation tracking) is authorized for this entry transaction; if operation tracking is not authorized for this entry transaction, leave clear.

Click (select) this check box if recording time against a work center (such as maintenance of a machine) is authorized for this entry transaction; if recording time against a work center is not authorized for this entry transaction, leave clear.

Click (select) this check box if, for this entry transaction, entry of the warehouse in the entry screen header information is mandatory; if, for this entry transaction, entry of the warehouse in the entry screen header information is optional, leave clear.

This check box is only available if the WRH-Warehouse management activity code is active.

The presence or absence of this option is subject to the activity code WRH.
It is used to define, for this entry transaction, whether the warehouse on the document line must be:

• Hidden: The field is not displayed. This will be single-warehouse managed.
• Displayed: The field is loaded with the warehouse entered in the header, and cannot be modified. This will be single-warehouse managed.
• Entered: The field is displayed and it can be modified. This setup allows a multi-warehouse management.
  This value cannot be selected if single-warehouse management has been activated in the transaction header.

This field indicates if the transaction authorizes the tracking on associated materials.

• No: No material consumption,
• Yes Manual: It will be possible to save the consumption of associated materials by activating the "material consumption" button.
• Yes automatic: The consumption of associated materials will be automatically carried out upon validation.
• Yes automatic and manual: It is possible to manually track the associated materials.
  If the associated materials were not manually tracked, they will automatically be upon validation.

Setup used to define, for this entry transaction, the material consumption mode:

• According to the immediate planned quantity: all the planned materials are consumed upon first tracking, no matter what the quantity of finished product actually produced,
• According to the ranged produced quantity: the material proportionately to the finished product quantity, without exceeding the planned quantity,
• According to the produced quantity: the material proportionately to the finished product quantity.

This parameter is a constraint for the user to choose manually the stock for consumption.

Use this field to set, for this entry transaction, the default value for the tracking (recording) of material issues (material tracking).

This field is used to know whether the transaction allows the production statement on the associated products.

• No: No production reporting,
• Yes Manual: It will be possible to save the production statement of the associated end products by activating the "production statement" button.
• Yes automatic: The production statement of the associated end products will be automatically created upon validation.
• Yes automatic and manual: It is possible to manually declare the production of associated products. The production statements that were not created manually are automatically created upon validation.

Use this field to set, for this entry transaction, the default value for the tracking (recording) of receipt of produced goods (production reporting).

Use this field to identify, for this entry transaction, if a non-conformance can be raised against an operational process in a routing. An operational process in this context is defined as a specific numbered operation in a routing, or an operation in a routing specifically related to a previous operation, that is the operation has a successor. This check box is only displayed if the NCS-Non-conformance activity code is active.

 Before setting the value of this check box you are advised to consider the role of users that have access to this entry transaction. Essentially this check box identifies if the user of this entry transaction can raise a non-conformance incident requesting an investigation into a potential 'problem', where the source of the problem is an operation in a route. Typical routing operations within a manufacturing environment that could cause a problem (a non-conformity) might be that the setup and run time are not adapted to the machine, the order of an operation must be changed, additional operations are necessary or a more stable machine must be used. Employees with the experience to raise a non-conformity against a perceived fault in an operational process are typically, therefore, the more senior or skilled workers such as a foreman, shop floor manager and design engineer. In many organizations, an employee might not have the skills to determine a non-conformity for a process but they might have the skills to determine a non-conformity on a resource such as reporting a broken machine or a defective tool. If this entry transaction applies to that group or those types of employees you should consider setting the Non-conformance - resource flag (field NCSRES) instead.

 If you click this check box you must add the Non-conformance fields to the list of fields displayed in the Time tracking plan (FUNBENCHO) function.

 This field is only available if this entry transaction can be used for recording time against an operation for a work order (the WO tracking

Use this field to identify, for this entry transaction, if a non-conformance can be raised against a resource used for a routing operation. A resource in this context is defined as a single machine (a work center), or a work center group, or a labor resource, or both a machine and a labor resource. This check box is only displayed if the NCS-Non-conformance activity code is active.

 If you click this check box you must add the Non-conformance fields to the list of fields displayed in the Time tracking plan (FUNBENCHO) function.

 This field is only available if this entry transaction can be used for recording time against an operation for a work order (the WO tracking

Use this field to identify, for this entry transaction, if entry of an employee code is:

• Mandatory. An Employee ID must be assigned.
• Optional. An Employee ID can optionally be assigned.
• Prohibited. The Employee ID cannot be assigned. The Employee ID field is not available for entry.

If entered, operation tracking results will be filtered for the employee.

Use this flag to permit (field=selected) or prevent (field=clear) modification of the operation unit.

Use this field to define the default operation tracking unit. This can be defined as the operation unit or the stock unit of the produced product.

Movement group, initialized by the movement group of the transaction being used.
This statistical information is recorded in the stock journal when saving the receipt/disposal movements. This movement group comes from the miscellaneous table number 9. The value given in the transaction setup corresponds to a default value that can/cannot be visualized and/or modified according to the transaction setup (entered, displayed, hidden field).

Statistical information used in the stock transactions associated with the shipment. This value is fixed if the original document does not reference a movement group. Otherwise, the movement group of the document at the origin of the quality control is suggested in priority.

This field is used for this transaction to specify the code of the accounting automatic journal used to generate, via the stock accounting interface, the accounting entries with respect to the stock movements created with this transaction.
This field can only be accessed if the SCOIFA - WIP accounting interface parameter is set to No.

A stock transaction code is used to specify rules within a similar transaction type.

These codes must be created in the miscellaneous table number 14.

The movement code is used to define specific stock receipt and issue rules for some transactions. For example, a dedicated transaction associated with experienced users can authorize the receipt to stock of goods in A status while the other users may be associated with a transaction authorizing the receipt to stock of goods in Q status.
This will only be possible for product categories authorizing this type of receipt rules and having such a movement code (see Product category).

Use this field to specify if stock label printing is authorized for this entry transaction.

Stock label printing is launched automatically upon completion of the tracking record if you authorize stock label printing.

Parameter used to define, for this entry transaction, if the number of documents to be printed can be entered or not.

Movement group, initialized by the movement group of the transaction being used.
This statistical information is recorded in the stock journal when saving the receipt/disposal movements. This movement group comes from the miscellaneous table number 9.

Use this field to set, for this entry transaction, the default value for the Filter field (field FILTOPE).

Use this field to define, for this entry transaction, if the Filter field (field FILTOPE) should be:

• Entered: The value of the Filter default value field is assigned and displayed.
• Displayed: The value of the Filter default value field is assigned and displayed but cannot be modified.
• Hidden: The value of the Filter default value field is assigned but the Filter field is not displayed.
  
  

This field gives the main sort criteria for the table of records to be processed.

This field gives the second sort criteria for the table of records to be processed.

Preload of times/quantities carried out.
If this setup is set to 'YES', the passed times and the quantities carried out/consumed are preloaded.

This field indicates the maximum number of lines in the grid.

The first N columns specified in this field remain visible on the screen when scrolling.

This column lists the fields that are available for display.

 The Operation field is mandatory. You cannot clear the Input value for this field however you can reposition it in the order of display.

 The Non-conformance - process field is mandatory if you have clicked the Non-conformance - process (field NCSPRO) check box in the Non-conformance block (Parameters section); the Non-conformance - resource field is mandatory if you have clicked the Non-conformance - resource (field NCSRES) check box.

 Displaying the Non-conformance description field and/or the Probable cause field in the Time tracking plan (FUNBENCHO) function is optional. Whatever the role of users that have access to this entry transaction, the Time tracking plan functionality only requires the user to provide a quick non-conformance incident with minimal details. If you choose not to display these fields the user does not need think about a possible or probable cause of the incident and they are not expected to describe the details of the 'problem'. The default Non-conformance description will identify that they are raising a non-conformance against the operation. It will include references to the origin of the request and any applicable line or operation numbers. For example, if whilst recording time against an operation for a work order they raise a non-conformance against a resource used for an operation, the default description will reflect this as 'Operation tracking – resource WOTFR0120066 15'. They can leave the default Non-conformance description and Probable cause

Use this column to define which fields are to be displayed and the order in which those fields are displayed.
