Starting jobs for non-workset enabled employees or machines using the Dashboard Transactions form

To start jobs for non workset-enabled employee or machine:

  1. Access the Dashboard Transactions form.
    Note: The Dashboard Transactions form is only available if the Time Track functionality is implemented.
  2. Select the value Machine in the Transaction Mode field, if Machine job starts manually.
  3. Select the value in the Order Type field.
    Note: If the value in the Order Type field is Production Order, Service Order, Setup, or Machine, then the value in the Order number, Suffix, and Operation field must be specified.
  4. Specify the Machine Ratio. The machine ratio determines the labor time that is reported for the machine.
    Example: If the value is 0.5, the labor time that is reported for the machine is considered as half.
    Note: The value in this field is defaulted if the Combine Labor and Machine Time checkbox is selected in the Employees form. However, the value can also be modified on the transaction form.
  5. Specify the next operation number in the Next Operation field.
    Note: 
    • If the Out Of Sequence checkbox is cleared in the Employee Types Form, the Next Operation field displays the next operation numbers in sequence.
    • If the Out Of Sequence checkbox is selected in the Employee Types Form, the next sequential operation is defaulted in the Next Operation field. The user can only specify one of the available operation numbers from the list (an open operation in the job’s routing).

      The validation of the Out of Sequence operation confirms that the operation is with the status, Open (only Open operations are listed in the Next Op pulldown). If the status of the selected operation is set to Complete, the quantities cannot be moved to the completed operation. A message for the successful completion of the selected operation is displayed. When the message is cleared, the application restores the default value of Next Operation.

  6. Specify the value in the Task Code field, if the value in the Order Type field is Indirect Task.
  7. Specify the value in the Project Number, the Task Number, and the Cost Code field, if the order type is Project.
  8. Click Start Job. The details of the current job is displayed on the Current Job screen.
