You can calculate employee efficiency when you report labor by
employee, provided that only one employee works on any given
operation.
The system calculates labor rate variances by comparing the labor rate
defined for an employee in Employee Maintenance (29.15.1) or Actual
Pay Rate Maintenance (14.13.21) to the standard labor rate for the
operation’s work center, defined in Work Center Maintenance (14.5).
Note The employee code specified for a transaction does not need to
correspond to an actual person. You can set up an employee code in
Employee Maintenance (2.7.1) to be used for reporting purposes only.
Department
The department code defaults from the work order routing. The system
creates GL transactions using the accounts associated with this
department code. Changing the department code changes the accounts
used for the GL transactions created by these programs.
Work Center
The work center code defaults from the work order routing. The system
uses the work center setup, labor, and burden rates to calculate costs and
create GL transactions. Changing the work center code results in method
change variances when the work center rates differ.
Item Quantities
For each work order operation, you can record the item quantities
completed, rejected, and reworked.
Note Labor feedback transactions cannot be modified or deleted once
they have been processed. To reverse the effect of incorrect transactions,
you can enter transactions for negative values.
When you enter a transaction, the system moves either the quantity
ordered or the quantity reported complete at the last operation to the
operation being reported. Which quantity displays depends on the setting
of the Move Next Operation flag for the previous operation. The quantity
