Linear Info |
Note: The optional Labor Capture module must be installed to use this screen.
The Linear Info tab records from and to segment, marker, and offset entries for linear work orders. The tab is locked (unavailable for entry) unless the Entry type field on the Labor Capture tab specifies WORK ORDER and the work order ID is for a linear asset. Linear asset work orders are created on the Data -> Shop Activity -> Linear Work Order screen.
For a list of keys to use instead of the mouse, see Keyboard Guide.
Notes:
Approval: If a work order requires approval before posting of charges, you may not start the labor capture until the work order has been approved. An approved linear asset work order has a check in the Approved field on the Basic Info tab of the Data -> Shop Activity -> Linear Work Order screen.
Delays: You cannot start labor capture for work orders that are currently in delay. To stop the delay to post labor charges to linear assets, use the Delays tab on the Data -> Shop Activity -> Linear Work Order screen.
The fields in the top section of this tab define the data that displays.
Employee ID
Note: If there is a check in the Require password for employee labor capture field on the Options tab of the Data -> Shop Activity -> Setup -> Options screen, you must complete the Password field before the current assignment information will display.
Valid identifier of the employee to whom current labor entry is charged. When you enter an ID in this field, the current system date and time automatically display in the Begin date and time field. This field has a list box. The employee’s name displays to the right of the ID.
If the employee does not have an active labor entry: Insert the start of labor capture (one employee at a time).
If the employee has an active labor entry: Current assignment information displays after you specify an employee ID. You can update the data or cancel the insert.
On the Data -> Shop Activity -> Setup -> Employees -> Primary Information screen, the Scheduling tab must have a check in the Charges time field and the Rates tab must have a value in the Default time code ID for work order charges for the employee.
Password
Password of the user ID associated with the employee ID.
If there is a check in the Require password for employee labor capture field on the Options tab of the Data -> Shop Activity -> Setup -> Options screen, you must enter a password to display the current assignment information. User IDs are associated with employee IDs on the Basic Info tab of the System Mgmt -> Setup -> Access Rights -> Users screen.
The fields in the bottom section of the tab provide segment, marker, and offset information for linear assets.
From
Identifier of the marker and segment at which the asset originates. These fields have two list boxes (one for markers and one for segments). The From marker ID is required . When you type or select a marker ID, the system determines how many segment IDs are assigned to it.
If there is only one segment ID, the segment field auto-populates.
If the marker is assigned to more than one segment ID, you must select a segment ID from the list box. Both markers must be on the same segment.
The marker description displays in the unlabeled field below the marker ID.
To
Identifier of the marker and segment at which the asset terminates. These fields have two list boxes (one for markers and one for segments). The To marker ID is required . If the marker is assigned to more than one segment ID, you must select a segment ID from the list box. Both markers must be on the same segment. The marker description displays in the unlabeled field below the marker ID.
Offset
Distance along the segment from the From and To marker IDs, respectively.
