Activating Labor Management
(LM) 
Use
● A warehouse number
● Internal storage process steps
● External storage process steps that are relevant for your warehouse
If an entry is missing for an external process step, and if the related internal process step is active, the external process step is also active.
If no entry exists in the table for activating internal process steps, the internal process step and all the external process steps assigned to it are inactive.
Prerequisites
1. You activate Labor Management for a warehouse number.
2. You activate Labor Management for internal process steps. In doing so, you simultaneously activate all external process steps assigned to the individual, active, internal process steps.
3. You deactivate those external process steps that are no longer to be active for Labor Management.
4. You have maintained processors in resource management.
Here, you have activated Labor Management for the external process steps of a warehouse number for which you want to create planned and executed workload.
Features
The functions specific to Labor Management are:
● Creating planned and executed workload
● Creating performance documents for employees and connecting an HR system
● Performing planning / simulation and preprocessing
● Creating documents for indirect labor tasks
● Calculating planned execution times using engineered labor standards
Example
LM is active for:
● Warehouse number 0001
● For internal process steps Warehouse-Internal Movements, Picking, Loading, Deconsolidate, and VAS Activities
LM is inactive for all other internal process steps.
For warehouse-internal movements and VAS activities, a more finely-tuned control exists at external process step level. LM is not active for the steps Oiling and Unplanned Movements, but all other external process steps are active.
The following figure shows the levels at which LM is active and inactive:
