How do I flip the flag to have the default Factor Unit to be Units per Hour vs Hours per unit.   This is in the Routing, Routing Templates and the Shop Order Operations.

Thanks for your help.

I don’t think you can change it based on setup, field help says:

 

Factor Unit
Use the list box to select one of these values:

Hours/Unit - How many hours it takes to manufacture a unit.
Units/Hour - How many units can be manufactured in an hour. 
Hours - How many hours manufacturing takes, regardless of the number of units.

This field is mandatory and the default value is Hours/Unit.

 

Likely the only way would be a custom event to flip it to what you want on the addition of an Operation line.

Thanks Shawn,

I have seen it flipped behind the scenes but was not sure how to do that.  Thanks for your suggestion of the custom event also.
