Add-on modules for shop floor data collection complement the SAP modules PP, PM, PS, CS and CATS

Automatic start, interruption and end of an order
Kaba uses this add-on to close the gap between HCM and PP, PM, PS. A time and attendance booking automatically starts or ends the last order processed. When an employee books the beginning of a break, the order in progress is also interrupted automatically.
This module reduces the number of entry steps, saves you time and avoids erroneous entries.

Order change
This function makes order entry easier and more convenient as active orders from PP, PM or CATS are automatically ended when starting a new order. This reduces the entry process, in particular, for very short processes.

Time adjustment
This module allows reported job times to be adjusted to attendance times of one or several employees later on. Define the correction period by means of parameters. An SAP module provided by Kaba determines the correction times in the background and then sends the modified times directly to the PP module. The time adjustment requires the Kaba modules multi-machine operation and multiple order processing.

Multi-machine operation and multiple order processing
If several operators work together on one order or if one operator handles several machines simultaneously, you need this module. Machine times can be distributed accordingly when producing with several machines. With multiple order processing, two or several orders are processed by one person on two or several machines; the working time is then distributed linearly. Break times are automatically subtracted according to the SAP working time planning. The module designed for the SAP modules PP, PM and PS determines the activities (labor time, machine time, setup time, etc.) for multiple order processing based on the entered time events (start/end). It calculates net times for different activities, such as working time, machine time, setup time, etc. and generates standard time tickets.

TRS WebTerminal SFDC
The "WebClient SFDC" function allows employees to conveniently log in and log off operations on their PC, just as with a stationary PDC terminal. This extension can thus be used to extend your PP, PM and PS modules in a useful way. It allows entering order data directly in a mask to report them to the B-COMM ERP 4 system. Collective entries, updating of jobs and paperless entries are also possible. The data thus captured are treated and processed in the same way as the data entered on the stationary terminals.

Collective entry
Kaba has developed the add-on module "Collective entry" for a quick entry of order data and time and quantity confirmations. The user can quickly and easily confirm times and quantities of an existing order using this solution. This software option allows assembling order packages for each employee and each workstation. This reduces the recording effort and avoids erroneous entries. Several collective packages can be registered for each employee. The orders can come from the SAP modules PP, PS and PM; all recorded data are automatically transferred to them.

Group work
To register several employees simultaneously or subsequently in an easy way for one or several work steps. All group information is directly entered in a PDC terminal when dynamically creating a group. Any number of employees can be added or subtracted from a group any time. All employees who register for the same workstation, the same order or the same group number are members of the group. If you wish a fixed group assignment with roles (e.g. group leader) within a group, define it in SAP. The corresponding settings are transferred to the B-COMM ERP 4 system via the HR interface and considered for a group booking. These groups can continue to exist for days, weeks and months, i.e. with their IN booking, the employees will automatically be logged in for the group.

Automatic registration on default operation
This software option automatically records "not assigned times" of an employee. They are booked on an overhead order defined for this employee (indirect process). Define the time from when not assigned times will be determined. If the employee exceeds the defined time limit between IN booking and order start or order end and new order start, the unproductive time is added to the stored overhead order. Thus, empty periods are automatically assigned and "filled" with a process. This allows you to achieve the best possible accordance between booked order times and real attendance time of your employee.

HTML SFDC report
The SFDC time report in HTML format shows certain data from the SAP system on the Internet or the Intranet. This might be, for example, a monthly overview with the employee's order times, attendance hours, productive and unproductive times, performance level, etc. Define the report layout and the report details in the SAP system. The time record is retrieved online from SAP and always provides you with up-to-date data. You can either display the SFDC time record on your PC or a B-Net 95 80 information terminal from Kaba.

Simulation tool
This test tool simulates the individual data collection and feedback process, helping you significantly reduce the test effort during implementation, release change or extensions. The different "data entry scenarios" can be predefined in Excel as "use cases" and then executed in automated form. Entry dialogs can either be simulated in "real time" or, alternatively, executed "directly".
