Note: The default budget category for the work order is the budget category associated with the work order's work activity in the Setup Activities window in the System module. Note: When a work order is created, the application uses the work order's assigned calendar (which is created in the System > Custom Calendar window) to determine the days worked, but uses the hours an employee can work (as specified in the Resources > Employee window) to determine the number of hours that the employee works on each day. Therefore, the hours per day specified by the type of calendar should match the hours an employee works to avoid scheduling problems. For example, say you selected a 4 x 10 calendar (four days, 10 hours a day) and the employee is configured to work only 8 hours per day. Now if you create a work order that will take 40 hours, the application will set the duration of this work order to four days. However, the employee will be scheduled to only work 8 hours per day, leaving a deficit of 8 hours to complete the work order. To avoid this problem, set the employee to work 10-hour days in the Employee window. |
