Starting Jobs Using Time Track

When using the Time Track module, you can start jobs, projects, or tasks using the Employee Home Page form or using the Dashboard Transactions form.

To start jobs using the Shop Floor module, see Labor and Material Transactions Overview.

To start jobs using the Warehouse Mobility module, see Using Warehouse Mobility on a Mobile Scanner.

Employees who are workset eligible add multiple jobs to a workset, then start the entire workset. If you attempt to start a workset before jobs have been added, an error displays. Employees who are not workset eligible start a single job. There are six types of jobs that can be started:

Production Order : Orders that involve the completion of production operation quantities
Service Order : Orders that involve the completion of service operation quantities
Indirect Task : Tasks that do not involve the completion of operation quantities; examples include facility maintenance and meetings
Setup : Initial set up time required before work can begin
Machine : Time during which a machine is in use; this order type is only used to report machine time manually and cannot be used as part of a workset or a team job
Projects : Collections of manufacturing and purchasing actions that can comprise multiple orders

Note: You also can perform these transactions on a remote scanner device using the Job Booking transaction. See Starting Jobs Using Time Track and Warehouse Mobility for instructions on using the Job Booking transaction.
