Authorize Manufacturing Time of Employee
Explanation
This activity is used to authorize manufacturing labor time reported by an
employee on shop order operations and indirect jobs. The settings specified
for the site to which an employee is connected in IFS/Manufacturing determines
whether or not manufacturing time reported by employee requires authorization.
To perform this activity you can use the Time Authorization
page as well as the Time Card page. If IFS/Time Management module
is used in the system, the Time Registration page can also be
used to authorize time.
Prerequisites
In order to perform this activity:
- The log-in user is required to have sufficient authorization rights
in order to access the employee's time information. The authority level
of the user depends on the authority attribute specified in the Access
Role page.
- The Authorization Required option must be enabled on the
Site/Manufacturing
page for the site defined as the primary site for the employee on the
Shop Floor Employee page.
- If attendance is reported using clocking intervals, the day is required
to be completed. Otherwise, incomplete days should be allowed for the employee
as defined in the parameter list connected to the employee's work hour rule.
- A difference
should not exist between the attendance hours and manufacturing hours for
the day unless a difference is allowed for the employee as defined in the
parameter list connected to the employee's work hour rule.
System Effects
As a result of this activity:
- The Authorized option will be enabled for manufacturing time
on the Time Card page.
- The Authorized option is also enabled on the Labor History,
Labor and Operation History pages and
the Shop Floor Workbench/Reports
tab for each shop floor transaction belonging to the authorized days.
This allows the postings related to the transactions to be transferred for
financial processing.
- The Authorized option will be enabled on the Indirect
Labor History page for indirect job transactions belonging to the
authorized days. This allows the postings related to the transactions to
be transferred for financial processing.
- If the manufacturing hours reported by employee for a day are less
than the attendance hours at the time of authorizing, a transaction will
be automatically created for the remaining hours using the indirect job
for difference specified for the employee on the Shop Floor Employee page. This will
only be effective when both attendance hours and manufacturing hours are
authorized either simultaneously or alternately.
