Allocation keys

Completed

If an employee starts more than one job on the Job registration page, it's referred to as a bundle. You can use allocation keys to define how bundled job registrations work within a specific area.

You can allocate the time that's spent on bundled jobs to the individual jobs in different ways by using those allocation keys.

Allocation keys consist of the following components:

  • Sites

  • Production units

  • Resources

  • Resource types

  • Bundle type

If you bundle jobs, you need to define the total registered time for all jobs that would be allocated for each job.

Additionally, if bundling jobs, you need to define how the program should allocate the total registered time for all jobs to each job. You can define allocation by selecting one of the following options in the Bundle type field on the Allocation keys page:

  • Estimation - The program divides time between the jobs based on the estimated time for the jobs.

  • Jobs - The program divides time according to total jobs bundled and how much time was spent finishing all jobs.

  • Net time - The program divides time equally between the jobs that are in the bundle at any time.

  • Real time - The program allocates actual job time and can calculate cost based on the actual payroll cost.
