Starting Jobs for Non-Workset-Eligible Employees or Machines Using the Dashboard Transactions Form

Note: The Dashboard Transactions form is only available if you have the Time Track module implemented.

Open the Dashboard Transactions form.
If you are starting a Machine job manually, select Machine in the Transaction Mode field. Otherwise, leave this field set to Hours .
Select the order type.
If the order type is Production Order, Service Order , Setup, or Machine specify the order number, suffix, and operation.
If applicable, specify a machine ratio. 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.
In the Next Operation field user can specify the next operation number.
Note:
- However, if the Out Of Sequence is cleared in the Employee Types Form, the Next Operation field displays the next operation in sequence. The fields is read only
- If the Out Of Sequence is selected in the Employee Types Form, the next sequential operation is defaulted in but the user can enter one of the available operations number from the list of the Next Operation field (an open operation in the job’s routing).
  After entering an out of sequence operation a validation is performed to confirm that the operation is still open(only open operations are listed in the Next Op pulldown). If the selected operation is marked complete, user cannot move qunatities to that operation. A message that indicates the selected operation is complete is displayed. When the message is cleared, application restores the default Next Operation value.
If the order type is Indirect Task, specify the task code.
If the order type is Project , specify the project number, task number, and cost code.
Click Start Job. The Current Job group box displays the details of the current job.
