Road Map: Labor Import

Use the Labor Import (LEI) program to import hours worked from an ASCII file. See Background for more information.

Before you run this program each time

You should run these programs:

  • Manufacturing Order Maintenance (MIM) to enter a manufacturing order and optionally obligate and pick components.

    OR

    Requisition Maintenance (IRM) to create a requisition and release a manufacturing order.

    OR

Consolidate Manufacturing Requisitions (MOCR) to release multiple manufacturing requisitions to create a single manufacturing order.

OR

Planned Order Maintenance (MOP) to enter planned orders, and then Order Release Preparation (MPR) and Order Release Selection (MRR) to release the orders.

OR

Sales Order Maintenance (OE) to enter a sales order and generate a manufacturing order for:

    • A make-to-order item (the Item code field in the Enterprise Item Maintenance (IM) program that matches the Item code for immediate supply option in System Options Maintenance (XM) (Inventory Control Options))

    • A subassembly (the Item code field in the Enterprise Item Maintenance (IM) program for the item and its components matches the Subassembly release type option in System Options Maintenance (XM) (Manufacturing Options)

    • A configured product that requires assembly

    • An item you make is not in inventory, the order entry operator clicks Manufacture in manual obligation mode, and the Disable mfg order firewall? option in System Options Maintenance (XM) (Manufacturing Options) is selected

  1. Manufacturing Order Picking Selection (MSS) to obligate and pick all required components or sets of components.

OR

Material Usage Maintenance (MUA) to obligate and pick selected components and close a component short.

OR

Picking Confirmation (MPK) or Secured Picking (SMPK) to pick all required components, sets of components, or selected components.

Before you run this program the first time

You should run these programs:

  • System Options Maintenance (XM) (Manufacturing Options) to set the L=Labor entry or W=WIP movement, Backflush components by operation seq?, Backflush comps not attached to oper?, and Use only inventory in work center loc options for your manufacturing branch.

  • System Options Maintenance (XM) (Labor Options) to set these options for your manufacturing branch: Labor overtime rate 1, Labor overtime rate 2., and Use routing dept in labor entry?

  • System Options Maintenance (XM) (Enterprise Options) to select a date display format for your enterprise, Branch Maintenance (TBM) to select a date display format for your branch, or User Maintenance (UIM) to select a date display format for an individual user.

  • Branch Maintenance (TBM) to set up branches.

  • Department Codes Maintenance (TDP) to set up departments.

  • Employee Maintenance (LSA) to set up employee records.

  • (Optional) Labor Codes Maintenance (TLC) to set up user-defined labor codes.

  • (Optional) Indirect Labor Codes Maintenance (TLI) to set up indirect labor codes to classify hours worked.

  • Rate Exception Maintenance (LRM) to set up codes for the Addl rate code field.

  • Routing Maintenance (RTM) to enter operation sequences for a parent item.

  • Output Device Maintenance (XDM) to set up the output devices that you plan to use.

  • Date-Output Device Maintenance (ZE) to select your default output device and set whether you can override that device.

After you run this program

You will most likely run these programs in this sequence:

  1. Labor Distribution Preview Report (LLR) to print a report of hours worked, good pieces, and scrapped pieces.

  2. Labor Entry Register (LPR) to Labor Entry Register (LPR) to print a list of labor entries, to update history for holiday, indirect, sick, and vacation hours, and to update the general ledger if you have labor interfaced to the GL.

You may also run these programs:

  • Daily Production Report (LPD) to print a report of direct labor hours, standard hours, efficiency percent, and scrap percent for production dates.

  • WIP Labor Report (WLR) to print a report of the standard hours to complete good pieces and scrapped parent items for routing sequences on a manufacturing order.

  • Material Scrap History Inquiry (MSHQ) program to display a summary of the scrap history for an item.

  • Material Scrap Detail Inquiry (MSDQ) program to display scrapped material detail.
