Stopping setup activities

Use this form to stop job setup activities. Setup activity is the initial tasks that is required to be completed for an operation before production work starts.

To stop setup activity:

  1. Select Labor > End Setup. The End Setup form is displayed.
    Note: If the End Setup form is started from the Home page the form defaults the job fields from the Start Setup record for the employee. If the start setup data is not available, the form displays the: Employee: xxx does not have a setup transaction running message.
  2. Specify the date and time for the record, if required. The current date and time is specified by default. You can modify the date and time only if the employee is authorized on the User Extensions form.
  3. Specify a job and job suffix. The item number and description are displayed.
  4. Select the operation number for the setup activity you are stopping. The work center where the operation is performed is displayed along with the time, the start time of the setup activity, and the elapsed time.
  5. Select Combine Labor and Machine Time to report machine time as a ratio of labor time for this activity, if applicable. Clear this check box to report machine time manually in a separate transaction. This check box is available only if:.
    • the Time Track functionality is implemented,
    • the Combine Labor and Machine Time check box is selected for the employee type on the Employee Types form.
  6. Specify a machine ratio. The Machine Ratio field is displayed only if:
    • Combine Labor and Machine Time is selected
    • the Time Track functionality is implemented.

    The machine ratio determines what portion of the reported labor time can be reported for the machine. For example, a ratio of .5 reports half the reported labor time for the machine. If the Time Track functionality is not implemented and the Combine Labor and Machine Time check box is selected, this field is unavailable and machine time is reported as a one-to-one ratio to labor time.

  7. Select a Resource ID for starting a labour transaction if the Combine Labor and Machine Time check box is selected.
    • You can view the Resource ID field on end forms, only if the Display Resource ID is selected.
    • The Resource ID displays resources that are in the resource groups on the Syteline job operations form's Resource tab.
    • Employee can select resources associated with the job, only if the Only allow job resource parameter is selected. However, employee can enter a valid resource if Only allow job resource check box is cleared.
    • The Machine Resource field is displayed and the value is based on the validation of the Resource ID field.
  8. Click Process to stop the selected activity.
    Note: This option is enabled only when all the required data is specified and validated.
  9. Click Close to close the form without stopping any activities.
