Open the Reg. Abs. (from Work Center) window.

You use the batch job to register planned absences at a work center. You can register changes in the available resources in the Registered Absence table. When the batch job has been completed, you can see the result in the Registered Absence window.

Note
If you want to register absences at a machine center, use the Reg. Abs. (from Machine Ctr.) batch job.

The batch job only creates the registrations. It does not process the changes. If you are satisfied with the registrations and want to implement them, that is, to insert them in the Calendar Absence Entry table, you use the Implement Registered Absence batch job.

Options

Starting Time: Enter the starting time of the absence, that is, the time the work center starts to operate.

Ending Time: Enter the ending time of the absence, that is, the time the work center stops operating.

Starting Date: Enter the starting date of the absence.

Ending Date: Enter the ending date of the absence. Because the Registered Absence table is used for calculating the resources calendar, you must fill in this field. You can change the ending date later if the absence period is prolonged.

Capacity: Enter the amount of capacity, which cannot be used during the absence period. For example, if a work center provides three concurrent lines, it is not necessarily all three lines that are shut down.

Description: Enter a short description of the reason for the absence.

Overwrite: If this field is checked, the program will overwrite entries on this particular date and time for this work center.
