If you use the Operation Times module, you can set up the way it works here.
Open: Works Orders > Utilities > System Set Up > Works Order Settings | Operation Times.
Enter the following settings:
Select this to send your information to a holding area (the waiting postings file). You can review the postings there before posting them to the works order and the Nominal Ledger.
Clear the check box if you want Operation Times to update your works orders directly as the operation times are posted from the shop floor.
We recommend that you select the check box and use batch updates.
Select this to record job details after the job is completed.
Clear this check box to record information in real time. In this case, you log on and tell the computer you are starting the job. When you finish the job, you log on and tell the computer you have finished working on the job.
We recommend that you clear the check box and use online processing.
This is only available if you have cleared the Retrospective Posting check box.
Select this to prompt workers to confirm the time calculated by the computer when they log off an operation.
Clear the check box to ensure that employees cannot change the times calculated by the system.
Select this to prevent employees from working on many jobs at once. This can affect the accuracy of job times and costs.
Clear the check box to let employees log onto and work on multiple jobs at the same time.
Select the sound files that you want to use for accepted and rejected transactions.
Note: We recommend that you only assign a sound file for a rejected transaction. This ensures that you are prompted to problems as soon as they arise.
