Labor Feedback by
Work Order (17.1)
Introduction
Use Shop Floor Control to report setup time, hours worked, and the
number of units completed for a specific work order operation. This
information is used to track the status of work order operations, monitor
performance of work centers, and update the general ledger (GL) for
manufacturing costs.
Note The Repetitive and Advanced Repetitive modules contain reports
and transactions similar to those in Shop Floor Control.
Reporting Labor by Operation
You can report labor in Shop Floor Control by work order, employee, or
work center, using Labor Feedback by Work Order (17.1), Labor
Feedback by Employee (17.2), or Labor Feedback by Work Center (17.3).
For each feedback transaction, you must specify an employee code, a
department code, and a work center or production line code.
Employee
Some companies summarize the hours worked by all employees for an
operation and record them in a single transaction. Others record the hours
worked by each employee. Use the second method if you want to report
on employee efficiency or examine labor rate variances, or if you use the
Payroll module.
