Setting Up Shifts in the Manufacturing Constants

Access the Manufacturing Constants Revision form.

Work Hours

Enter the number of work hours that the manufacturing plant operates per day.

Shift Code

Enter a UDC (00/SH) that identifies daily work shifts.

In Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne payroll systems, you can use a shift code to add a percentage or amount to the hourly rate on a timecard.

For payroll and time entry: If an employee always works a shift for which a shift rate differential is applicable, enter that shift code on the employee's master record. When you enter the shift on the employee's master record, you do not need to enter the code on the timecard when you enter time. If an employee occasionally works a different shift, you enter the shift code on each applicable timecard to override the default value.
