14.2 About Time Entry

You can use several methods to enter timecards manually, including:

• By employee

• By job or business unit

• By day

• By employee with equipment

• For shop floor control

You can also use different time entry methods for different groups of employees. For example, if a group of employees work in the same business unit or job, you can streamline time entry for that job. When you enter labor by job or business unit, you can enter the job number once for the entire group.

When you enter labor, the system updates the Employee Transactions Detail table (F06116).
