Routing line for labor costs

In the Shop Floor Production Power App, the duration of a routing line in the status Start-up, Production and Failure is registered as time registration entries. These entries are sent to Dynamics 365 Business Central and it is possible to post these time entries as capacity costs. Capacity costs are the costs that are associated with internal labor and machine costs. These capacity costs will be registered for the setup time and production time.

The machine costs for the setup time are calculated by the total duration of time entries for a routing line in the status ‘Start-up’, for the production time the total duration of all time entries with the status ‘Production’ are used.

The labor costs for the setup time are calculated by the total duration of all time entries for a routing line in the status ‘Start-up’ times the number of operators who worked on it. This also applies to the calculation of labor costs for the production time, using the total duration of the time entries with the status ‘Production’.

Machine costs are posted directly on the linked work center, for the labor costs a separate work center must be created. This work center must be added to the routing and linked to the routing line to which the labor costs apply.
