DC-H  Post Labor Transactions

Purpose of Program

Use this program to batch post data collection transactions to the permanent work order files.  Once the transactions are posted, they are moved to the permanent labor file and can no longer be edited in DC-G  Edit Labor Transactions.  If you need to edit transactions that have been posted, you can do so using WO-F  Enter Labor.

You can run this program as often as you wish.  The frequency depends on how timely you need your work order information to be for planning and scheduling purposes.  To simulate real time reporting, you could conceivably run the program every couple of hours.

Backflushing by sequence supported

This program supports backflushing of materials by routing sequence.  If you have bill of material components assigned to routing sequences, the program will issue those materials to the work order as those sequences get posted.  

If any of the components are set to require lot or serial control, they will not be backflushed.  Instead, the program will produce a discrepancy report that can be used to manually issue those materials using WO-G  Issue Materials.

General Program Operation

You can limit the transactions to be posted by entering ranges of employees, work order numbers, time, and dates.  If you want to post the entire file, press <Enter > through all the fields.  You would generally want to filter by time and/or date to prevent posting records that have just been saved and have not yet been reviewed in DC-D  Print Labor Status.
