Time tracking in a work centre

Hi Experts,
I am staging components for a process order using a posting change request, due to this I am unable use VAS order in a production work-center (VAS order is applicable only for inbound/outbound deliveries),
But I would like to track time for the activities in a work-center , do we have any option to achieve this without creating a VAS order ?
Thanks & Regards

Brian,
There are many spreadsheet applications that beg for a time-stamp capability such as I believe you are seeking, so you aren't alone. The solution that I just came up with is the 'long way', but you might be happy with it.
I think it's a good idea to manually format that cells in your time stamp range the way you want your time stamp to look when you first set up the sheet rather than as you go.
I have one cell in my sheet containing the =NOW() function, conveniently located to copy from.
To use this time stamp kludge:
1. Select the cell containing =NOW().
2. Right-click (Ctrl-click) that cell and select Copy.
3. Select the destination cell into which you want to stamp the time.
4. Right-click (Ctrl-click) that cell and select Paste.
Now you have the formula where you need it and it should grab the current time from the system clock.
5. With the destination cell still highlighted, go to the command menu and select "Edit-Copy", and then "Edit-Paste Values".
The formula is now replaced with a date and time value that won't update the next time the sheet recalculates. Not as good as a single-click macro, but it only takes a few seconds.
Let me know how this works for you, and especially if you find a better way.

Since upgrading to OS X Mavericks I have not been able to work on any MS Word tracked changes documents (works fine if no tracked changes or comments in the doc). Every time upon opening such a word file with tr.changes the word processor closes / crashes.
What can be done in this case?

I just discovered that by turning off in tracked changes balloons in Word preferences prevents the software from crashing, but from then on I need to use only the review pane.

Work centre wise total running time and production

How to use MS Project in conjunction with a time-tracker tool

In my new job, the company is using a time-tracking tool in a very strict way.
Allow me to explain...
Let's say the project has two phases: Ph1 and Ph2.
Ph1 starts on day 1 and effort is 5 days.
Ph2 starts after Ph1 and effort is 10 days.
There are 3 resources available, R1, R2 and R3, and after a careful estimate of skills and avilability it has been decided the following:
- Ph1 is assigned to R1 from day 1 to day 5, resulting in a duration for Ph1 of 5 days.
- Ph2 is assigned to...
...R2 from day 6 to day 10
...R3 from day 8 to day 12
resulting in a duration of 7 days.
The above is mapped into the time-tracking tool to allow each resource to track time against Ph1 or Ph2 only in the aplanned timeframe. That is: R3 will be able to track
hous aganst Ph2 only from day 8 and only till day 12. That is to avoid that resources track more time that what was originally allocated: if this is necessary, it must be explained why, a new plan must be calculated and more budget must be allocated. When
the ok is given, the tasks in the time-racking tool will be changed accordingly.
If the above situation is clear, my question is: how would you model this in MS Project?
If the WBS in MSP is simply
1. Project X
1.1 Ph1
1.2. Ph2
when allocating R2 and R3 to Ph2, how can I specify that R2 will work only from day 6 to 10 and R3 from day 8 to 12?
At the moment the only clean solution I found is to go into the task usage view and adjust, for each day, the working hours of each resource assigned to the activity.
A second less clean solution is to have a WBS like follows
1. Project X
1.1 Ph1
1.2. Ph2
1.2.1 Ph2.R2
1.2.2 Ph2.R3
that is split Ph2 into two sub-activities, one for each resource.
Thanks fo any help.

Thanks a lot to both of you for your suggestions.
Unfortunately the time-tracking tool cannot be changed: it is a new SAP based tool deployed worldwide.
The problem is that each project involves different teams from differnt countries for a fixed "budget" (or a fixed number of man-days). Therefore there is a global PM in London that will define in the time tracking tool
a WBS like this
1. Project X
1.1 Analysis
1.1.1 Analyse impact for team in Rome
1.1.2 Analyse impact for team in Amsterdam
1.1.3 Analyse impact fr tam in Bangkok
1.2 Development
1.2.1 Develop A
1.2.2 Develop B
1.2.3 Develop C
1.3 Customer Acceptance Test
1.3.1 Prepare test environment by team in Amsterdam
1.3.1 Test by final user
1.3.2 Support user testing by team in Rome
then he would assign the development tasks to the rsources that are supposed to work on it and for only the estimatd time. The reason is easy: he want to make sure that a resource tracks time only against the task she is supposed t work on and for only the
estimated number of days, to avoid exceeding the budget. If extra effort is required for a resource on a task, before allocating more time on that task, a long battle will start.
This we cannot change.
The problem now is on our side, the teams in Rome/Amsterdam/Bangkok: we must keep our own plan in MSP. Our tam in rome is divided in 4 sub-teams, one for each module of the core product, each team with a team
leader assiging tasks to resources with Asana. Untill las week, for months, there was not PM in Rome leading the four teams and hand and of course there was no global plan for the tasks in Rome.
My first attempt was to try with a Gantt that would stop at phases level, without going down to task level, that are under responsibility of the 4 team leaders. the reason being that we have something like
25 projects, some with dependecies with each other. I simply wanted to avoid having one huge MSP file with all projects down to task level: by experience, in my previous project (an ERP upgrade for Oracle EBS in FAO) this approach did not work very well.
But this is bringing up he problem I described: if I stop at "1.2 development" in the WBS, than when I assign R1 and R3, to mak sure their effort is planned accordingly to what has been setup in the time-raking
tool, I need to edit work in the task usage resource by resource, activity by activity.
The other option is to insert under 1.2 development another level with all tasks from Asana, each task being assigned to one resource:
1.2 Development
1.2.1 Develop A
1.2.1.1 Develop class x (by R1)
1.2.1.2 develop class y (by R3)
1.2.2 Develop C
1.2.2.1 Develop new pricing interface (by R4)
1.2.2.2 Modify all logos (by R7)
A third option would be to have one dtailed plan for each project down to the Asana task and then one higher level plan summarising all projects, down to phases only.

WORK CENTRE IN EQUIPMENT MASTER DATA

Hello All,
In IE01 tcode > creation of equipment , pls tell me what is the relevance of work centre in location tab ??
Thanks,
Sunny

Hi
Work Center
Definition:Operations are carried out at a work center. In the R/3 System work centers are business objects that can represent the following real work centers, for example:
Machines, machine groups
Production lines
Assembly work centers
Employees, groups of employees
Use
Together with bills of material and routings, work centers belong to the most important master data in the R/3 production planning and control system. Work centers are used in task list operations and work orders. Task lists are for example routings, maintenance task lists, inspection plans and standard networks. Work orders are created for production, quality assurance, plant maintenance and for the Project System as networks.
Data in work centers is used for
Scheduling
Operating times and formulas are entered in the work center, so that the duration of an operation can be calculated.
Costing
Formulas are entered in the work center, so that the costs of an operation can be calculated. A work center is also assigned to a cost center.
Capacity planning
The available capacity and formulas for calculating capacity requirements are entered in the work center.
Simplifying operation maintenance
Various default values for operations can be entered in the work center.

How to get Motion Tracking Mode to work?

How do I get "Motion Tracking Mode" to work? I click the icon and nothing happens, its like greyed out.

scouterbsa
Here is my check list for you to review regarding using Motion Tracking Mode in Premiere Elements 10 on Windows 7 64 bit.
1. You need a video and with enough motion in the object in it to track it. Color contrast between the object and its background can be important to success.
I created a DV AVI 4:3 in which I have a circle moving, and I have used a butterfly Clip Art from Premiere Elements 10 to track to track the circle as it moves in the video. In this example, you see the object only at 0 time.
2. Select/highlight the clip on the Timeline. And then click on the Motion Tracking Mode icon above the Timeline.
You should next see the following Motion Tracking dialog asking for a Yes or No to the question "Run
Auto-Analyzer to track moving objects?" Click No.
3. At this point, you will see a bounding box on screen. That bounding box should be placed using the mouse cursor on the object
that is going to be tracked, in this case, the circle. Resize and position the bounding box accordingly.
4. Once you have the bounding box on the object and resized, click on Track Object at the top right of the monitor.
The screenshot below shows only the before clicking Track Object at the top right of the monitor.
When that action is finished the bound box edges will be an orange yellow color. I have skipped over a screenshot
for the latter.
5. With the orangel yellow bounding box in place, next drag the Clip Art (in this case, Butterfly 02) from the Clip Art display area toward and into the orange yellow bounding box frame. The orange yellow bounding box frame will turn blue. That is the first sign of success.
Hit the Enter key of the computer main keyboard and watch the results. The Butterfly should track the circle's
movement in the clip. The duration of the clip and the continuity of the object's motion in the clip can be other factors.
If you do not succeed, try again with a different video clip (one with more movement and color contrast.
The above is a best case scenario. If it is speech bubbles that you are having problems with as well, we will deal with them next.
Right now it seems like you are having problems getting started rather than having a problem with a specific Clip Art that you are
using to track the object in your video.
We will be watching for your results.

Work centres for employee of more than one plant

Hello experts
I have a question regarding work centres. Our department is managing a pool of workers which consist of employee from more than one plant. Somebody had made experience concerning this issue?
Furthermore we have to manage external workers as capacity. How can I build up this in SAP?
Best regards

>
> I confused plants with company code.
>
This bit difficult for me to decide and say something.
Depends on the business requirement and business process and legal statuses it will be decided.
some time plans can also be company 'codes'.
if the management wants to differentiate plants in financial terms plants may become company codes.
>
So we have employees of different company codes which get managed by one department manager. Is that possible to make one work center so that we are able to manage them together. Seems infeasible. So we have to create for every company code one work center, but we never have an overview of our total workers...
>
One thing you need to get clarified here. Company is a separate legal entity.
if you want one employee to work in different companies on different assignments you support use (MGE and CE concept)
>
> If he/she working in two different site we can manage the situation with dual reporting concept.
> and with:
> For cost center you can always use cost center split. while posting to FI/CO.

Dual reporting is to manage the people.
Cost is for final analysis ( where employee work how much incured, how much profit/loss earned)

Restricting the change of workcentre in CO11N to selected work centres

Dear PP Gurus,
I have included the following screen
0420: Personnel: incl work center and posting date in the confirmation profile, so that the user can change the work centre at the time of confirmation. However the user wants that there should be a check where in only the workcentres which are used in parallel to be allowed for the perticular operation.
Please guide how to achieve this? Can we have a check thorugh any of the user exit below:
CONFPP02 PP order conf.: Customer specific input checks 1
CONFPP03 PP order conf.: Cust. specific check after op. selection
CONFPP04 PP order conf.: Customer specific input checks 2
CONFPP05 PP order conf.: Customer specific enhancements when saving
Eg.
For operation 0020 the user may perform the confirmations on Weld1 /Weld2 /Weld 3 machine. Now the system will allow to select any work centre other than these three. That may lead to wrong confirmation. The user wants to restrict the work centres to be selected to these three only. These three machines are mentioend as parallel sequence in the routing.

Time refresh doesn't work .... probably flaws in the code. Please help ...

Making a time display and try to keep track of the system time every second. When I pruposely changed the system time for the first time, it worked; another time it wouldn't work and it stopped. Where is the bug please ...
tick_24 = new Timer ( 1000, new ActionListener () {

2 machines in 1 work centre

Hi Experts,
In my scenario there are 2 machines in 1 work centre. So when I go to capacity tab then where can I maintain that I have 2 machine capacity? Please answer me ASAP....

Hi,
You can maintain two machine as one work center in the Capacities tab enter 001 (Machine capactiy) and enter the system will take to another screen, where you can enter the time ofthe workcenter and capacity utilization and number of individual capacity, there you can enter 2. So the the capacity available will be multiplied by the number of capacity.
for Ex: you have enter time 08:00:00 to 17:00:00 then for one machine the available capacity is 9 hrs for 2 machines, it will be 18 hrs, the system will calcutate andit will show the capacity as 18 hrs.
Thanks,

How to measure work centre performance in the pp point and pm pinot of view

Dear Guru`s,
how to evaluate the work centre performance in the pp,pm point?
how to evaluate the OEE (overall equipment efficieny)?
can anybody suggest that, if there is any transactions are avialable to get the reports or any process is to be followed to evaluate these?.
regards,

hi
you can evaluate the PM work center using t-codes
CR05 - Work Center List
CR06 - Cost Center Assignment
CR07 - Work Center Capacity
CR08 - Work Center Hierarchy
with this you can get the requirment,available and overlaod of the capacity
OEE cannot be directly calculated you can develop the custom based program to calulate the one with available input,( available hrs,down time hrs)

Tracker doesn't work in deskbar-applet

Hi again, one more problem.
I used to use a lot the spotlight-like tandem deskbar-applet + tracker; but after the upgrade to Gnome 2.24 it doesn't work for me anymore and it looks like i'm the only one that uses it or, at least, that has this problem.
I followed these instructions but nothing happens. The other deskbar plugins happen to be like
/usr/lib/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible/wikipedia-suggest.py
/usr/lib/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible/wikipedia-suggest.pyc
/usr/lib/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible/wikipedia-suggest.pyo
I tried placing module-tracker.py in that directory but again nothing happens and cannot find the files tracker-module.pyc nor tracker-module.pyo. As google tells me at least tracker-module.pyc should be created automatically the first time tracker-module.py is run. I tried to force it and here is the result:
[pablo@pablerkas modules-2.20-compatible]$ python tracker-module.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible/tracker-module.py", line 14, in <module>
import deskbar.core.gnomedesktop
ImportError: No module named gnomedesktop
[pablo@pablerkas ~]$ sudo modprobe gnomedesktop
FATAL: Module gnomedesktop not found.
I googled again with that but found nothing helpful...
Thanks in advance.
Plus: keybindig <ctrl>space doesn't work...
Last edited by Slurp (2008-10-30 12:45:36)

ok i have patched the script, but...
the script works but if I restart X or simply restart the deskbar, the script is not shown in the list (even if I use the reload button).
I have to recopy the script (from a backup dir) to the /usr/lib/deskbar.../modules.../ dir and it magically works, until the next reboot....
note that the script is in /usr/ so it cannot be modified by my user (and deskbar)
Can you confirm this?
I can make a script that copy the script everytime gnome boots, but it's not a good idea...
