Background documentationEarned Standards Plug-In

 

You use this activity to view the scheduling standards and to view, claim or unclaim earned standards for an SFC number or a specific operation for an SFC number (see Earned Standards).

You can use this feature during the following processes:

  • Multiple operators work on the same SFC number at the same operation and each operator needs to claim standards for individual contributions

  • Tracking of operation partial completion for performance tracking and reporting purposes when operations have long processing times

  • Tracking of SFC number partial completion for performance tracking and reporting purposes, such as progress payments
