Specifying hours accounting parameters

Use this form to specify parameters for hours accounting transactions performed on handheld scanners. The parameters you specify on this form will override those specified with the Warehouse Mobility Administration Tool, if there are conflicts.

To specify hours accounting parameters:

  1. Select Warehouse Mobility > Warehouse Mobility - Hours Accounting > HRA Parameters.
  2. From the grid, select the top row with the description Actual Set.
  3. Specify this information:
    Description
    Specify a description for this parameter set. For example, Parameter Set defined on 2013-03-12 8:40.
    Workset Implemented
    Select to use worksets. Using worksets allows employee tasks to be grouped together in Infor LN to simplify hours accounting activities.
    Enable Workset by employee
    This parameter is available if you select Workset Implemented. Select to designate certain employees to use worksets. If you clear this check box, all employees will use worksets.
    Dynamic Workset Handling
    This parameter is available if you select Workset Implemented. Select to allow additional tasks to be added to a workset in progress. If you clear this check box, all workset tasks must start and stop simultaneously.
    Default Time Split Handling
    This parameter is available if you select Workset Implemented. To determine how time will be split between multiple tasks within a workset, specify one of these:
    • Simple Average: Divided equally between tasks.
    • Weighted Average: Divided to each task based on its standard duration

      For example, if job A usually takes 20 minutes to complete and job B usually takes 40 minutes to complete, twice as much time will be allocated to job B as to job A.

    • Quantity Based: Divided to each task based on the quantity produced

      For example, if task A produces two items and task B produces four items, twice as much time will be allocated to job B as to job A.

    Allow Time Split Method Modification
    This parameter is available if you select Workset Implemented. Select to allow users to change the time split method.
    Quantity Based Split - Ignore Zero Quantity Jobs
    This parameter is available if you select Workset Implemented. Select to ignore jobs with no quantity when splitting time based on quantity. Clear to allocate a minimum amount of time to jobs with no quantity when splitting time based on quantity.
    Teams Implemented
    Select to use Teams. Using teams allows employees to start and stop activities for their whole team. For example, if employee A, B, and C are on a team, employee A can start an activity for the team, and that start activity record is replicated for all three employees.
    Apply Clock In/Clock Out Rules
    Select to require employees to clock in to start activities. When selected, the start time of an activity can be adjusted to match the clock-in time, depending on the shift type configuration. Clear to track hours using activity start and stop times. When cleared, employees will not clock in.
    Reference Working Time Schedule
    This parameter is available if you select Apply Clock In/Clock Out Rules. Specify the default shift type for labor time applied as costs to jobs.
    Include Out-of-Shift Hours
    This parameter is available if you select Apply Clock In/Clock Out Rules. Select to include hours worked outside of shift hours.
  4. Click Save. The parameter set is applied.
