Start and Stop a Disturbance Period

This document explains how you make a break in the registration of labor time for an operation. You may want to do this if you have to work on a more urgent order, for example.

Outcome

  • The registration of time for a particular operation is stopped, but the operation is not finished.
  • The registration of time is started again. The time that was registered before the interruption is added to the new registered time.
  • It is possible to have several disturbance periods per operation.

The file 'Manufacturing Order - Operation' (MWOOPE) continuously stores the time used and the quantities produced.

The file 'Manufacturing Order - Transactions/Operations' (MWOPTR) stores all operation transactions.

The correct total time it takes to perform an operation can be calculated and act as the foundation for the payment of salaries as well as for following up.
