Understanding Hours and Quantities Update

To post hours and quantities to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Manufacturing system, you must run the Hours and Quantities Update program (R31422). This program updates the Work Order Routing table (F3112) with unaccounted labor units and amounts for each work order operation. This table then supplies the manufacturing accounting programs with the current data. Before the data is updated, you can locate and change it as necessary. After you run this program, you cannot locate the data on the Time Entry Revisions form (W051131A).

If you use the Super Backflush program (P31123) to enter hours and quantities, the quantity transactions are posted in real time. The program enters the transactions at the points in the routing instructions that you specify. To post hours, you still have to run the Hours and Quantities Update program. The system posts only the records that are in the current entry session. Therefore, if you exit the Super Backflush form after you enter the transaction data, you must locate the data on the Time Entry Revisions form and change the records to make them current with the system.

When you run this batch program from the menu, you use data selection to update those records that have not yet been posted. The system retrieves the hours and quantities information from the Work Order Time Transactions table (F31122). The system enters a P in the Processed Code field for each entry that it updates so that the record cannot be updated again. If you access the update program from Time Entry Revisions form, the system updates the time entry lines that appear on the form for the selected work order or employee. After the update, the system clears the form, and the records that were processed no longer appear.
