Accumulated worklogs' total values grouped by periods (PERIODTOTALS)

The application displays all hours added to production within the filtered time period, providing visibility into whether these hours have been allocated to work In Progress or elsewhere at the time of report generation.

The application is especially useful for controllers when there are changes in closed periods.

Accounting period

The accounting period information, in this application, is defined in the Period account register (PAR) application.

Overview

The application enables the user to view accounting periods and calendar periods for the last five years.

The Accounting periods and Calendar periods tabs allow the user to inspect and verify labor hours, cost and corrections for either; user specified accounting periods, set up in the Period account register (PAR) application, or by standard calendar periods.

To view details about Production work orders (PWO) in a specific accounting period, click the Arrow icon on an accounting period in the Accounting periods tab.

Logic
Corrections within the context of the application
PERIOD_1.jpg

Corrections, within the context of the Accumulated worklogs' total values grouped by periods (PERIODTOTALS) and Accumulated worklog's total values grouped by production work orders (PERIODPWO) applications, are all new worklogs, including manhours, and all worklog corrections are registered the after Production work orders (PWO) are set in Status 9 - Completed, and forwarded to stock (SSA).

The costs for corrections are calculated according to the resource hourly rate for the given period.

Corrected hours and costs

Having the previous information in mind, corrected hours and costs are worklogs registered for the current calendar / accounting period.

Example 1: A manhour registered in January 2025 for current date will be labeled as corrected hour.

PERIOD_2.jpg

Example 2: A worklog added through PWOWL in January 2025 for the current date will be labeled as corrected hour.

PERIOD_3.jpg
Corrected hours and costs for previous periods

Corrected hours and costs for previous periods are worklogs registered for previous calendar / accounting periods. Adding a correction for the past period will update the accrued values for both Corrected hours/costs and Corrected hours/costs for previous periods.

Example 1: A manhour registered in January 2025 for the 15th of November 2024 will be labeled as both corrected hour and corrected hour for previous periods.

Example 2: A correction performed in January 2025 for a worklog which was registered on the 22nd of November 2024 will be labeled as both corrected hour and corrected hour for previous periods.
