JC-O  Print Standard Labor Hours

Purpose of Program

Use this report to get a listing of actual labor hours for a period contrasted with what the hours would have been at standard rates as defined in your routings.  You also get a comparison of the actual hours at actual labor cost versus what those hours would have been at standard work center rates.  This second comparison would only be useful if the Use Actual Costs in Labor Entry? switch in SD-B  Work  Orders Defaults is set to Y.

This report can be useful in confirming the accuracy of standard production rates (parts/hour) and the accuracy of work center standard labor rates.

General Program Operation

First, indicate the sort/subtotal field.  Available choices are Labor Date, Work Order, Employee, Work Center, Parent Part, Machine, Tool or Sequence.  Sort/subtotal by Labor Date subsorts be employee within each date.  All other criteria subsort by date within the sort field selected.  Next, select Detail only, Detail and subtotals or subtotals only.  Choose the Work Order Status, whether active or archived work orders are to be reported on, and indicate the Labor Type(s) and Shift(s) to be included.  Finally enter any desired filters for Labor Date, Work Order, Work Center, Parent Part, Tool, Employee, Job Number, Sequence, Scrap Code, Rework Code, QC Code, Machine and Department.  As the labor transaction file can get quite large, it is recommended that even if you are not using date as a primary filter, enter a date range that brackets the approximate range of the data you are reporting on (as for a work order) to speed up the report.
