Adding labor hours
If the automatic registration of running labor hours is enabled in your app configuration, the app will automatically take care of the labor hour registration, with each action you select.
 | For more information on the methods for labor hour registration in the Planon app, see Configuring labor hour registration in the PMFS solution. |
In general, the hours that were automatically added in the Time spent block will reflect the actual number of labor hours spent on the work. However, in some cases it might be necessary to add additional hours to the work assignment.
Example: You have to call in another team member to assist you on this work assignment and you want to add these additional labor hours.
Procedure
1. On the Overview page (or on the Summary page for PPM orders), select the Time spent block.
The Labor hours details page is displayed, with the labor hours registered up to this point in time.
2. If you want to add labor hours, select the plus icon on the right.
The Add labor hours details page is displayed.
3. On this page, fill in the fields for the new labor hours.
For example, if you want to add labor hours for an additional internal tradesperson, select that person in the Internal tradesperson field.
| | If you want to add labor hours for an external co-worker, add this person's name via the Enter external worker button at the bottom. This name is subsequently displayed in the Internal tradesperson field on the Edit labor hours details page. Note that external co-workers are not stored as records in the Planon database, only the labor hours linked to their name. |
Also fill in the Start- and End date-time, Trade, Hour type and any tariff data and / or a Comment. The external labor hours are registered under this person's name at the back-office.
4. Select Submit.
| | If you add multiple Labor hours records to a work assignment, these hours should not overlap if you add them for the same engineer. |
