Function Key Settings for Indirect Labor Tasks
in the RF Environment 
Features
Transaction-Specific Function Keys
● If you have created a note for an indirect labor task, the system displays an X in the RF transaction, next to the number of the indirect labor task. You can display the note by choosing F9.
● When confirming an indirect labor task, you can enter a defined exception code, or display a list of available exception codes by choosing LIST. You enter the exception code number in the Entry field. You save the exception code and indirect labor task by choosing F4. The information about the exception codes is then available to you to use for evaluation purposes.
● After a system user calls the RF transaction, the system selects all indirect labor tasks that have been created for this user in this warehouse number and have not yet been completed. The system displays the indirect labor tasks by creation date.

Enables you to set the start time. For the start time, the system sets the system time at the moment when the function key is pressed. When the start time is set, the status of the indirect labor task is set to In Process. You can only set the start time once. After that, you have to change it manually.

Enables you to set the end time. For the end time, the system sets the system time at the moment when the function key is pressed. The status is set to Completed. You can only set the end time once. After that, you have to change it manually, however you can only do this if the end time has not yet been saved. After that, it disappears from the worklist and can only be archived. |

F10 |
Deletes the indirect labor tasks that you are currently processing. You must confirm the deletion by choosing F4. This key is no longer visible after starting the RF transaction, as in the standard system for RF transactions that have a screen size of 8*40, only four function keys can be displayed at the same time. If a transaction contains more than four function keys, this is displayed to you through a greater than (>) character next to F4. For indirect labor tasks, function key F10 is displayed when you choose F5. You can also choose F10 even if it is not currently visible.
