BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: Indirect Time Reporting

In Infor LX, there are two ways to enter indirect labor. You can use either SFC600 or SFC650.

  • If you use SFC600 and enter a reason code for the indirect labor, the reason you entered is written to the Labor Ticket file.
  • If you use SFC650 and enter a reason code for the indirect, the reason code is not written to the labor Ticket file.

In either case, the reason code is not validated from the transaction file because there is no indirect transaction code. The indirect code that can be setup is machine downtime. If you need to validate and track indirect by reason and validate the reason code, then you may want to explore an MES solution that works with Infor LX.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

Tips: LN | Baan

To avoid having to report quantities also at the order level, set the Post to Inventory when Reporting on Last Operation parameter to Yes in these sessions:

  • Production Order Parameters (tisfc0100s000) > Planning tab
  • Production Settings by Site (timfc0180m000) > Production Order tab

With regard to as-built handling, because JobControl acts as a reporting tool similar to the Machine Work List (tisfc4600m000) session, we recommend these settings in the Production Order Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session (Miscellaneous tab) and Production Settings by Site (timfc0180m000) session (Production Order tab):

  • In the Serials section, set the Generate Serial Numbers parameter to On Printing Documents or On Release as the serial number that can be selected in JobControl to report completed or rejected products must have the Valid status in LN.
  • In the Serials section, we recommend setting the As-Built Status Handling parameter to Manual as the serial number assignment is performed in JobControl.
