Start/Stop Labor

This dialog box appears after you click Start/Stop Labor on the Maintenance Orders Browser. You can provide the system with specific information about the timing of the Operation labor start and stop here.

At the top of the dialog box, the Order field presents the Maintenance Order number for which the labor is being reported.

In the Operation drop-down menu, select the specific Maintenance Order Operation for which the labor will be reported. The Operations are displayed according to the view:

In the Date and Time (hh:mm:ss) fields, the current date and time is always presented at first. You can adjust the specific date and time as necessary before starting or stopping the labor.

The dialog box has two buttons:
