Distributing Hours Over Several Days in a Period
Use
To simplify data entry, CATS classic allows you to distribute a specified number of hours over several days in a period. Instead of entering the hours for each day individually, you can use the Distribute hours function to automatically
You can distribute hours as follows:
Distribution of hours over total area selected
Using this method, you distribute the total number of hours over a specific period, that is, they are distributed over one or more lines. There are various functions that you can use to distribute the hours according to your individual business requirements.
There is a function for distributing the total number of hours equally among all cells that are selected and assigned a working time attribute, for example.
Over a period of two weeks, you have worked for a total of 90 hours on three different cost centers.
Instead of entering the exact number of hours for each cost center, you distribute the hours among all relevant cells. If it is a five-day week, the system distributes three hours to each day and cell.
Distribution of hours per selected row
Using this method, you distribute the total number of hours to the selected period in one row. You use a distribution function in this case too.
For two weeks, you have worked 40 hours per week on two orders.
Instead of entering the exact number of hours for each day, you distribute the hours over the whole period. If it is a five-day week, the system distributes four hours to each day and row.
Distribution of hours to each selected cell
Using this method, you distribute a number of hours per day (eight hours, for example) to all cells that are selected and assigned a working time attribute.
