Net Hourly Rate Composition
Presentation of the composition of the net hourly rate based on the man and machine part, where the man part is determined based on the function group (pre-calculation). Distinction is made here based on variable and setup time.
Declarable Hourly Rate Composition
Presentation of the composition of the declarable hourly rate based on the man and machine part, where the man part is determined based on the function group (pre-calculation). Distinction is made here based on variable and setup time.
Depending on the entered values, the different rates used for cost price and declaration are presented at the bottom of the operation screen. This provides insight into which rate is used at what time.

The man part of the post-calculation rates is determined by the function group linked to the employee. Deviation from the function group results in a different rate composition in the post-calculation. |
Hours Tab
- Show in Employee Overview. Checkbox to indicate whether the booked hours on the operation should be visible in the Employee Management module, 'Hours Balances' tab.
- Do Not Show on Hours PC. This checkbox can indicate whether the operation can be chosen on the Hours PC.
- Active During Breaks. By checking this option, you ensure that machine time continues during breaks (when man hours stop). If this option is unchecked, both machine and man hours stop during the break.
- Can Run Unmanned. An operation can run unmanned when it is not necessary for an employee to be continuously present at the machine. When unmanned, only machine hours are counted, not man hours.
- Absence. An operation can also be an 'Absence'. This means that hours can be booked for, for example, Illness, Vacation, Doctor, etc. This operation can only be chosen on the Hours PC if clocked in too late or clocked out too early (as a reason for too early/too late). Hours can always be registered on an Absence in the Hours Entry module (see: MKG Hours PC: administration settings).
- Specification Required. When active, this operation cannot be stopped from the hours registration without being specified.
- Image. To make the choice of the operation clearer, it is possible to link an image. This image is displayed in the Shop Floor interface.
- Hour Type. Each operation in the hours accountability is linked to an hour type. The hour type is important for determining the cost price and post-calculation processing of the hours (see: Hour Type: process table).
- Overtime Type. If an operation must be registered under a specific overtime type, it can be specified here.
- Start Condition. This allows a condition to be set for when a next operation may start. On the Shop Floor, these are only visible under this condition. The following choices are possible:
- None. The next operation may always be started.
- Previous operation is started. Clock rules (hours registration) must be present on the previous operation. Only then can the next operation be started.
- Previous operation has number ready. Only when the minimum number ready is reported on the previous operation, as entered, can the next operation be started. The minimum number must always be specified.
- Previous operation is ready. The previous operation must be fully reported as ready ('Completed') before the next operation may be started.
Booking
The booking type is shown in the bar, as determined on the hour type. Only in the underlying table can general ledger accounts be assigned to the types 'Direct hour type', 'Indirect hour type', and 'Indirect hour type never on order'. The system first looks at the general ledger accounts on the operation. If these are not filled in, the general ledger accounts of the hour type are used.
