Staged Time Off Groups

This forms is used to hold the temporary master data before being written to the real master tables in factory Track. When the synchronization process is initiated, the master data is extracted from the ERP system and written to the staging tables for time off groups. An individual staging record is created for every master data record extracted. For example, if 20 time off groups are extracted, 20 staged time off groups records are created. The defaults (set up in the Data Synchronization Default forms) are then applied to the staging tables, updating the staging record with information required in Factory Track, and is not available in the native ERP system. The Time Off Groups Staging form can then be used to alter values on the Staging records before being uploaded to the Master Files in Factory Track.

The form initially shows the base data from the ERP system along with a status of Downloaded. When the defaults are applied the values on the Time Off Groups Staging form are updated with the defaults and the status changed to Defaults Applied. At this stage, this form can be used to manually change certain fields if necessary. Consequently, the batch is posted to Factory Track and the status is changed to Posted. After this action is updated, no changes can be made to the staging records (for time off groups).
