Overview:

Plant Stand Downs are used in conjunction with Plant Assignments and Plant Issues. You can stand down some or all of your assignments for a period of time. Also from this screen a different Plant Rate Code can be assigned to all Assignment Lines where the default Plant Rate is valid for an Assignment Line. Highlight the line (showing in green) that has the Plant Rate to be applied to other applicable lines then use the [Default Rate] blue button at the bottom left. A confirmation message will pop-up before the system applies the new rate: ‘Are you sure you want to default all lines with valid item units to Rate Code ‘xxxx'?'

When a Plant Assignment Line is on Stand Down, this line will not generate a Plant Issue Transaction on Assignment Bulk Issue screen so it cannot be created into a Plant issue for this Stand Down period.

Screen Guide:

Plant Assignment Setup

Open

A.  The supported filters are Assignment, Job and Plant.
B.  The Main tab specifies the header details, specifically:

• Frequency - the issue frequency of the assignment

• Status – whether Entered, Approved, or Closed

C.  The Lines tab specifies the plant issue details specifically the rate, quantity and period to be issued.

Plant Stand Down Setup

Open

A.  The supported filters are Assignment, Job, Plant, Stand Down Overlap, and Is Active (default).
B.  The Main tab specifies the header details, specifically the affected Plant Assignment, Period and Status.
C.  The Lines tab specifies the plant stand down details specifically the rate and stand down period.
D.  A rate can be applied across all lines by selecting (indicated green) the required rate and clicking [Default Rate].
