Transaction Type

On the Unposted Job Transactions form, Co-products tab, the transaction type defaults from the Unposted Job Transactions form. (The Unposted Job Transactions form, Co-products tab is only available for co-product jobs that use the transaction types of run, move, and machine).

On the Unposted Job Transaction form, select the transaction type. Valid transaction types are:

  • Setup: Transactions include the hours a resource worked in setting up a work center to perform an operation of a job.
  • Run: Transactions apply charges to a job operation for labor hours and the quantity of goods completed, scrapped, and moved to the next operation. If the work center for the operation is labor scheduled rather than machine scheduled, the remaining scheduling time for the operation is reduced by the Total Hrs posted.
  • Move: Transactions record the quantity of goods completed, scrapped, and moved at an operation without recording any labor or machine hours. Move transactions adjust these quantities on the Job Operations form.
  • Indirect: Labor transactions charge employee labor to an indirect labor code rather than to a job.
  • Machine: Transactions apply machine overhead charges to a job operation for the hours a machine was run, along with the quantity of goods completed, scrapped, and moved to the next operation. Machine transactions entered in Data Collection can either be machine transactions from prorated with labor or independent of labor. See the help topic About Machine Transactions (Data Collection) for more information.

    You can enter another machine transaction if the operation is not complete. When entering the first machine transaction, clear the Operation Complete? field. Then, enter the second machine transaction, this time selecting the Operation Complete? field (assuming the operation is complete).

  • Queue: Transactions allow you to log the amount of time a job has been in a queue waiting for resource availability.
  • Direct: Labor transactions charge the hours an employee has worked on a job operation. Direct labor transactions add labor cost, labor overhead, and adjust the run rate in the Work Center. Direct labor transactions do not reduce the run time remaining on an operation. The system adds labor cost and labor overhead to the job WIP when you post job labor transactions.
