Once BCO has been set up, you can start monitoring the budgets. The various BCO Dashboards serve this purpose. Budget control based on these dashboards is central to this article. In addition, a number of scenarios arising from the design of BCO are discussed.

The standard dashboard 'BCO Man-hours Monitoring' can be used to monitor the extent to which the set budgets correspond to the actual hours worked by your employees. See how productivity and hours efficiency have developed throughout the year and how they relate to what you have budgeted.

Hour categories determine the financial settlement of registered hours. Depending on the hour category, the job group on the employee and the administration settings, the different surcharge percentages are determined for cost price and subsequent calculation of the operation and the time spent and any overtime position, split into a man and machine part.

The standard dashboard 'Employee Hours Analysis (8001)' runs per employee and shows all hours of the year, including not yet definitively processed hours. You get an overview of the number of hours per week, per operation, and per hour type, as well as an overview of the hour balances.
