System Labor by Head Count

Affected Window: w_manhours_schedule_generation_headcount

Switch Set to Yes:

When set to Yes, man hour labor generation will be determined by the head count functionality and not by employees and shifts.

For example, users must first set up a Man Hours Factor through the Location Master window as the head count functionality is based on specific locations. The Man Hours Factor will appear when the Maintenance Facility checkbox is selected via Settings/Update/Location Master, General Tab. This field will only appear then the switch is set to 'Yes.'

The Man Hours field is located on the Location Master, Optional tab and is set to 6.5:
