Stopping Setup Activities

Use the End Setup form to stop job setup activities. Setup activity is the initial tasks that need be completed for an operation before production work can begin.

To stop setup activity:

  1. Open the End Setup form.
    Note: If the End Setup form is started from the Home page the form defaults the job fields from the start setup record for the employee. If no start record is found, the form displays the message: Employee: xxx does not have a setup transaction running with an ok button. When the employee clicks the button the form is closed.
  2. Optionally, specify a date and time to record for this transaction. The current date and time is specified by default. You can only modify the date and time if your user ID has the appropriate authorizations on the User Extensions form.
  3. Specify a job and job suffix. The item number and description are displayed.
  4. Select the operation number for the setup activity you are stopping. The work center where the operation will be performed is displayed along with the time the setup activity started and the elapsed time.
  5. If applicable, select Combine Labor and Machine Time to report machine time as a ratio of labor time for this activity. Clear this check box to report machine time manually in a separate transaction. If the Time Track module in Infor Factory Track is implemented, this check box is only available if the Combine Labor and Machine Time check box is selected for your employee type on the Employee Types form.
  6. If applicable, specify a machine ratio. The Machine Ratio field is only displayed if Combine Labor and Machine Time is selected and if the Time Track module in Infor Factory Track is implemented. The machine ratio determines what portion of the reported labor time will be reported for the machine. For example, a ratio of .5 will report half the reported labor time for the machine. If the Time Track module is not implemented and the Combine Labor and Machine Time check box is selected, this field is unavailable and machine time will be reported as a one-to-one ratio to labor time.
  7. Employees can select a resource ID for starting a labour transaction if the Combine Labor and Machine Time check box is selected.
    • You can only view the resource ID field on end forms, if the Display Resource ID is selected.
    • The resource ID displays resources that are in the resource groups on the Syteline job operations form's resource tab.
    • Employee can only select resources associated with the job, if the parameter Only allow job resource is selected. However, employee can enter any valid resource if Only allow job resource is not selected.
    • The Machine Resource field is displayed and the value is based on the validation of the resource ID field.
  8. To stop the selected activity, select the green process button. To close the form without stopping any activities, select the Close button.
