Specifying Operation Type Code Times

Although operation type code times are optional, it is recommended that you use them.

To specify times for all items associated with the selected type code:

On the Operation Type Codes form, select a type code and click Times.
On the Setup and Finish tab, specify amounts for fixed and variable hours, or by using variable hours per original color or special color.
On the Run and Scrap tab, specify the basis for determining the duration of machine and labor hours for an operation. The run basis is defined using either hours per piece or pieces per hour for machine and labor schedule drivers. Fixed and variable material scrap factors may be specified to determine scrap factor values at the job material level.
Save the record.
Optionally, to specify alternate values for a specific set of records:
1. Create a new record.
2. On Setup and Finish and Run and Scrap tabs, specify the alternate values.
3. Use the Optional Matching Criteria fields to specify when to use the alternate values. For example, specify an item to use the alternate values for operations that involve only the selected item. Specify a Tier Sheet Count amount to use the alternate values for operations whose sheet count equals, or exceeds, the Tier Sheet Count amount.
Note: In the event that several alternate sets of values use the same tier field (for example, Tier Sheet Count), the system uses the set of values whose tier amount is closest to, without going over, the actual operation amount.
Save the record and close the form.
