Job Costing
The Job Costing module allows for four levels of labor tracking, each with it's own user-defined
name. By default the Department level is active upon initialization of the system. The levels
allow for additional breakdown of information. Each level can be assigned its own wage or piece
rate. If you use wages, Departments must be used also. Employees may be assigned to a default
department where they will automatically be assigned and accrue time when they clock in.
The levels in the ATR9800 are Department, Job, Step and Operation. You can have an unlimited
number of functions at each particular level. For example, you can have an unlimited number of
jobs, an unlimited number of steps and also operations.
To setup Job Costing you must:
Add level code and description for each level in the system.
Turn on under Company Setup the levels you wish to use.
Add the tasks for each level to the system.
Setup the clock configuration for keypad entry and define a range of badges that will access
the keypad.
Once you enter the level numbers into the system and setup the clock configuration you must
reprogram the clock.
Employees who wish to enter any of the defined levels must press the appropriate key on the
clock. When that key is pressed they will be prompted to enter the appropriate level number. At
that time they start to accrue time in that level and if a wage is assigned to that level, at that
wage.
An example of a department that has an hourly pay type and a default wage of $8.00 is shown
above. Any employee who accrues time in this department will accrue it at $8.00 an hour
unless they have been assigned an individual wage. Individual wages override level wage
assignments. (See employee section). This department is selected to be downloaded to the
clock for validation. Any employee who transfers to this department must enter the correct
number "01" at the clock or the transfer will not take place.
