Starting Job Operations

Use the Start Run form to start job operations for individual employees. To start job operations for a team, see Starting Job Operations for a Team.

To start a job operation:

Open the Start Run form.
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.
Specify a job and job suffix. The item number, unit of measure, and job status are displayed as well as the total, scrapped, completed, and remaining quantities on the Details tab. To view the current progress of each operation in the selected job, select the Progress tab.
Select the operation number you are starting. The work center where the operation will be performed is displayed on the Details tab.
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.
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, machine time will be reported as a one-to-one ratio to labor time.
To start the selected operation, select the green process button. To close the form without starting any operations, select the Close button.
