Starting labor hours reporting for a project using the Work Center form

The non-workset-enabled employees can only start labor hours reporting for a project. To add project labor to a workset or to start a workset, use the Workset Maintenance form. Select Maintain to open this form. See Managing Worksets for more information.

To start labor hours reporting for a project:

  1. Select Labor > Work Center. The Work Center form is displayed.
  2. Specify the employee ID, in the field marked with a person icon.
    Note: This number is specified by default.
  3. Select the work center in the field marked with a factory icon.
    The work center is specified by default. The projects that are ready to be started are displayed on the Project Labor tab.
  4. Specify a date and time to record for this transaction, if required.
    Note: The current date and time is specified by default. You can modify the date and time only if the Work Center Popup Enabled parameter is cleared and if your user ID has the appropriate authorizations on the User Extensions form.
  5. Select an operation from the Project Labor tab.
  6. Specify this information:
    Project
    The project number. The project name, customer, start date, and project type are displayed on the Details tab.
