In the "Employee" tab you can view the time sheets, including recorded times and quantities, of your employees. You can select from shifts lying up to 12 months in the past.
Customers using a Management Information System (MIS), which is not able to receive any status messages from production (JMF or proprietary format) very often use SFDC terminals of the MIS or work with "paper time sheets" which have to be filled out in order to calculate job costing or to use the data as an employee-related track record. This also applies to machines, which have already been automated (such as printing presses with Prinect CP2000 Center).
In these cases, the time sheet function is a simple and reliable way of recording time. After the end of the shift, the times from the time sheet can be entered manually in a SFDC terminal or other time-tracking system
The objective of the time sheet is to have a reliable data basis for job costing and performance analysis. Thus, the quality of data can be checked prior to introducing job costing.
The operations (PDC messages) must be mapped to the actions in the device configuration for actions to be recorded properly and displayed in the time sheet.
This means: You must create and assign an action for each of the operations (PDC messages) that are reported automatically or manually by the machine. The action is recorded in the time sheet when the operation message is sent. It is feasible to name operation and action alike to find out which operation triggers which action in the time sheet.
Mapping of operation and action occurs when you set up operations in the "Actions" section (see the above screenshot). For details, see Creating a New Operation Group (Cost Group)
Creating Time Sheets of an Employee
Proceed as follows to create a time sheet:
1.Go to "Analyze Point > Employees".
2.Set up the "Month","Employee" and "Shift End" parameters.
•Month
This is where you select the month in which the time sheet was printed. Up to 12 months are available. The last 30 shifts display if you select "Current".
•Employee
This is where you select the employee whose time sheet will be displayed. All employees who have messages in the selected period are displayed.
This is where you select the shift for which the time sheet will be generated. As many as 100 shifts in the selected month are available.
·What is a shift?
A shift is the period in which an employee was not logged out of the system longer than four hours. If an employee was logged out for a longer period, the last logout period is recorded as the shift end.
The time sheet is generated automatically and displayed at the bottom as soon as you have selected all the parameters.
