Labor Reporting
Consisting of labor processing programs and reports, the labor reporting module is used to enter labor transactions as they are reported from the shop floor. These transactions supply data for various applications, such as manufacturing costing and production scheduling. Labor can be reported by crew or individual employee. In addition to manual reporting, operations can be set up to back flush the labor based on the settings in the item's routing. Start/Stop labor entry is provided for real-time data collection on the shop floor. Labor entry writes to the standard labor tables and can be accessed through the standard labor programs. Crew entries are exploded into their member employees for application to the cost of production, so that the rate for each employee can be used for cost calculations. Scrap reporting takes place as part of labor reporting or can be reported separately.
