Time-tracking information consists of the
actual hours (regular, overtime, and double overtime) worked by employees and entered or
imported in the project and production schedules. It provides the data necessary to monitor
labor efficiency and catch cost overruns early.
You can define the settings that control adding and modifying time-tracking records
in the Time Tracking Settings dialog.
You can identify the work performed by
an employee using fields such as project, task, station, sequence, lot number,
category, pay category, main mark, and piece mark. You can modify the time-tracking
settings to enable the fields you require.
