Starting jobs

You can use the Labor Reporting transaction to start jobs for employees. The time the employee spends working on the job is recorded and attributed to the job in your ERP system. In the Labor Reporting transaction, the Job start and setup start transactions are modified to include the Resource ID field. This field must be displayed only when the parameter Display Resource ID is set to true. You can start these job types:

  • production orders

See Starting Production Orders and Setup Activities.

  • setup activities

See Starting Production Orders and Setup Activities.

  • indirect tasks

See Starting Indirect Tasks.

  • production schedules

See Starting Production Schedules.

  • just-in-time production jobs

See Starting Just-In-Time Production Jobs.

  • projects

See Starting Projects.

  • service orders

See Starting Service Orders.

  • work center labor

See Starting Work Center Labor.

If you have the Time Track module implemented, you should start production orders, setup activities, indirect tasks, projects, service orders, and machine jobs using the Job Booking transaction instead of the Labor Reporting transactions. See Starting Jobs Using Time Track and Warehouse Mobility for instructions on using the Job Booking transaction.
