Hello together,

I just tried some things in the routing. I want to setup the costs for the setup time and the machine time, but for both fields “Setup Labor Class” and “Labor Class” lead both to “Manufacturing Labor Class”. How can I setup the setup costs and the mascvhine costs independently?

Thank you.

Regards Markus

Hi Markus,

I’m in Apps8, but I think the principals will be the same.

Machine costs are set within the work center on the cost tab.

Within the Routing alternate you then have a field called Mach Setup Time - which I believe uses the cost from the work center.

The labour costs, you’ve found already.

You have labor time and machine time separately for both setup time and runtime. 

The machine time is related to the work center, and the machine cost is set per work center. You cannot have different machine cost rates for setup and runtime since the same work center is used for both.

The labor time is related to the labor class, and the labor cost is set per labor class. You can set different labor classes for the setup and the runtime, hence, you can use different labor cost rates for the setup time and runtime.
