Work centers setup

To register input and output in the Shop Floor Production Power App, the work centers must be visible. You can specify whether a Work Center should be visible in the Power App, on a per-Work Center basis. When using machine centers, the machine center follows the setting of the linked work center.

Furthermore, only users who have been assigned to a Work Center can access it within the app. Users with the SUPER role in Office365 can assign users to specific Work Centers.

  1. Select the Search icon , enter Work Centers, and then choose the related link.
  2. On the Work Centers list, select the required No. to open the Work Center Card page.
  3. Turn on the Show in Shop Floor toggle to show the work center in the Aptean Food and Beverage Shop Floor Production Power App. If the Work Center is Blocked, and the Show in Shop Floor is set to true, the Work Center is still visible in the Power App.
  4. Turn on the Labor toggle when the work center must be used for posting labor costs. To ensure that no consumption or output entries can be posted in the Aptean Food and Beverage Shop Floor Production Power App on the work center that is used for labor costs, is it possible to specify either the Labor or the Show in Shop Floor field, not both.
Note

When you refresh a production order with the Labor toggle turned on for the associated work center, the Run Time, Setup Time, Wait Time, and Move Time field values in the Prod. Order Routing line will be set to ‘0’ and become non-editable. This is applicable regardless of the production order type.

  1. On the action bar, click More options > Related > Work Ctr > Office365 Users.
  2. Select New and enter the e-mail address of the Office365 User.
Note

On the Posting FastTab, if the Unit Cost Calculation field is set to Time, both the direct and indirect costs from the work center will not be posted, and no capacity ledger entry will be created.

The Office365 User is now linked to the Work Center.

When the Show in Shop Floor toggle is turned on and office365 users are linked to a work center, the work center will be shown for these users in the Shop Floor Production Power App.

Note

The number of Shop Floor Production users cannot be more than the Quantity of subscriptions in the Subscription Overview page.
