Setting Up Labor Tracking

Show TOC

You can use this process to set up Labor Tracking to track time spent by the shop floor operators.

Prerequisites

The Enable Labor Tracking system rule must be set to true in System Rule Maintenance (see Miscellaneous Rules).

Process

In Labor Charge Code Maintenance activity, define the labor charge codes for your site (see Setting Up Default User LCCs).
In Cost Center Maintenance activity, you define the cost centers for your site (see Configuring Cost Centers).
In Production Calendar Maintenance activity, you set up a production calendar (see Production Calendar Maintenance).
In User Shift Maintenance activity, you define user shifts and schedule them (see Defining User Shifts).

Note
You can specify the holidays for your site in the Holiday.idat file. For more information, see your SAP ME consultant.

End of the note.
In User Maintenance, do the following:
1. On the Labor Tracking tab page, assign users to shifts and cost centers.
2. On the Supervisor tab page, assign cost centers to users who are supervisors.
The system uses the UserTypeBO.idat file to define options, such as Exempt, Non-Exempt, and Contract, in the User Type column. You can use the options specific to your site by changing this file. For more information, see your SAP ME consultant.
Set up the default user and SFC LCCs (see Setting Up Default SFC LCCs).
In Labor Rule Maintenance, set the labor rules you want the system to enforce for your site (see Determining Labor Rules).
In Activity Maintenance, retrieve the activity Supervisor Time Edit and Approval (LT260) and set the activity rules you want for your supervisors and users (see Supervisor Time Edit and Approval).
If required, set up Collect Work Time (see Setting Up Collect Work Time).
Do one of the following:
- Set up Labor Tracking for clock in at logon (see Setting Up Labor Tracking for Clock In at and Before Logon)
- Set up Labor Tracking for clock in before logon (see Setting Up Labor Tracking for Clock In at and Before Logon)
- Set up Labor Tracking for unrequired logon (see Setting Up Labor Tracking for Unrequired Clock In)
If any of your users are allowed to change their labor charge codes in the POD, create a button associated with LT240 in each of the PODs used by those users. For more information, see Creating New POD Buttons.
