| Hours accounting procedureCentral hours accounting The People package is used to register hours for logistic packages such as Manufacturing. You
can define hours for employees, a complete team, or machines. The following three transaction types are used
for hours accounting: - Production order
(operation).
- Assembly (clustered
line-station order).
- PCS Project (activity).
You can also compare
actual hours with budgeted hours. You can make budgets by employee, by team,
and by department. When you no longer need the hours data, you can move the
data to an archive company. Prerequisites Before you can enter hours data, you must set up the related
variables. These variables include: - Enterprise unit.
- Employee data.
- Calendar code (for the
budget).
- Department.
- Project and activities.
- Production order and
operations.
- Price calculation codes.
- Cost components.
- Operation rate codes.
- Work centers.
- Machines.
- Tasks.
The hours accounting procedure The hours accounting procedure goes through the following
stages: - Entering master data
and hours budgets.
- Entering hours.
- Processing hours.
- Hours accounting
history.
- Archiving hours.
1. Entering master data and hours budgets You can set up a working time schedule in the Working Time Schedule (tcppl1100m000) session. You can define a labor type, in terms of
surcharges, in the Labor Types (tcppl0130m000) session. You can define budgets in: - The Budget by Employee (bptmm3100m000) session.
- The Budget by Department (bptmm3110m000) session.
- The Budget by Team (bptmm3120m000) session.
2. Entering hours You can enter hours transactions in any of the following
sessions: - Production Order Hours (bptmm1120m000)
- Assembly Hours (bptmm1160m000)
- Project (PCS) Hours (bptmm1170m000) For more information on hours accounting, refer to Using hours accounting.
You can display hours
transactions in the Hours and Expenses by Employee Overview (bptmm1100m000) session. Statuses An hours transaction can have
one of the following hour statuses: - Active. The activity or operation is still
in progress. When you enter a new hours transaction, LN asks you whether
the previous active hours transaction must be closed. If you close this
previous hours transaction, LN calculates how many hours were spent on the
operation or activity in question with the planned hours of the Working Time Schedule (tcppl1100m000) session. If you do not want to close the
previous hours transaction, you can choose to interrupt the transaction. LN calculates how many hours were spent on the operation or activity concerned
with the working time schedule. The hours-transaction status becomes Interrupted.
- Interrupted. If work for an operation or
activity is temporarily interrupted and another activity has begun, you must
interrupt the hours transaction. The Day-End Hours Accounting Processing (bptmm1205m000) session enables you to interrupt
an active hours transaction up to a particular date. You can automatically
reactivate the hours transaction on the first normal workday after a certain
date. The first normal workday is determined based on the working time schedule
that is assigned to the employee.
- Closed. When an hours transaction is
assigned the Closed status, the transaction
can no longer be activated; the hours must be processed.
3. Processing hours Until you process the
data, hour transactions can still be edited. When you run the Process Hours and Expenses (bptmm1203m000) session, the hours accounting data is stored
as hours history and can no longer be edited. Then, if you want to make any
changes, you must post additional hours. The data is then available to be used
for cost accounting in other modules. 4. Hours history You can produce reports about the history data that is
produced by processing hours accounting in the following sessions: - Project (PCS) Hours History (bptmm2570m000)
- Production Order Hours History (bptmm2520m000)
- Assembly Hours History (bptmm2560m000)
5. Archiving hours - In the Archive/Delete Hours and Expenses History (bptmm2225m000) session, you archive the hours for
employees or machines that you entered in the hours accounting session.
- You can archive the
hours history data you created by processing hours in the Process Hours and Expenses (bptmm1203m000) session.
- You can archive hours
budgets in the Archive/Delete Overall Budget (bptmm3230m000) session.
