Elapsed Hours is a transaction belonging to the Labor Sub-Menu on the Warehouse Mobility icon based and list based menus.

On the Labor Sub-Menu:

    Job Type
    Select the type of job to which you are reporting labor and, if applicable, quantities.
    Note: If the user specifies the job type as Production, the application checks if the labor set is backflushed. If the user posts labor to a job where labor is backflushed already, a warning or reject message is prompted. Based on the Backflush Option parameter setting the following types of action is performed:
    • If the parameter is set to Warning, the application gives a warning, if the employee tries to start or report time against a backflush job. The employee can choose to override this warning.
    • If the parameter is set to Reject, the application gives a rejection message, if the employee tries to start or report time against a backflush job. The employee cannot override this message.
    • If the parameter is set to Ignore, the application allows an employee to start or report time against a backflush job without any warning message.
