  • Manual entry
    Click the New button on the toolbar or, from the File menu, select New.

  • If you do not want to distribute hours, leave the Working Time Schedule field empty. Then, the labor type from the transaction type data is defaulted.

Project (PCS)

A collection of manufacturing and purchasing actions that are performed especially for a particular customer order. A project is initiated by a customer order for items having a To Order order policy. The purpose of a project is to plan and coordinate the production of these items.

For a standard-to-order production, the project is only used to link the item with the customer order. Otherwise, a project can include:

  • Customized item data (BOMs and routings)
  • Project planning (activity planning)

A budget is a special type of project. A budget is used to plan and estimate, not to carry out production.

Activity

An activity that is relevant for the (rough) planning of a project. Activities are used to plan the rough material and capacity requirements of the project. Activities are also used to control the (final) assembly planning of the project.

Task

An activity to manufacture or repair an item. For example, sawing, drilling, or painting.

A task is carried out on a work center, and can be related to a machine.

Machine

In LN, a mechanical object on which operations can be carried out to produce items.

Machines are linked to operation rates. The operation rate and the labor rate together form the basis for the actual costing of production orders.

Overtime

If this check box is selected, the entered labor hours are seen as overtime.

You cannot manually change this setting: it is determined by the labor type used on the time line.

Transaction Status

If the transaction type is Production, Assembly or Project (PCS), the transaction status can be one of the following:

  • Active
    The task's start date was entered.
  • Interrupted
    The task's hours registration was suspended.
