03 Standard Workflow

  1. The supervisor reviews HR > Schedule by warehouse and confirms labor coverage with Month, Week, Day, or List view.
  2. If a new schedule is needed, use Create. For floor operations, use Print to share the daily or weekly plan.
  3. After daily execution, the warehouse lead reviews Warehouse > Work Log by employee and date range, then exports PDF or Excel for the closeout file.
  4. HR or operations reviews HR > Time Card by warehouse, department, and date with Compare and Check. Use Resync only when the data source must be refreshed.
  5. Finance reviews Accounting > Work Order Cost, Labeling Cost, and Work-order-task using the same warehouse and date range, then reconciles those results against Work Log and Time Card.
  6. Before month close, export Work Log, Time Card Monthly Report, Work Order Cost, and Labeling Cost, then align them with Invoice Records and Invoice Rules.

04 Closeout Checklist

CheckWhat to Confirm
Warehouse scopeSchedule, Time Card, Work Log, and Work Order Cost use the same warehouse.
Date rangeLabor and cost reports use the same datefrom and dateto.
Employee scopeWork Log can filter by Select User for individual productivity and exception review.
Department scopeTime Card supports All Department and department filters before monthly reporting.
Cost scopeWork Order Cost, Work-order-task, and Labeling Cost match actual work orders, labeling activity, and invoice rules.

05 Risk Controls

  • Schedule is the plan; Work Log and Time Card are the execution evidence. Do not settle labor only from the schedule calendar.
  • Resync refreshes time card data and should be limited to HR or supervisors after review.
  • Confirm warehouse, employee, department, and date filters before exporting PDF or Excel.
  • If Work Order Cost shows No record found, check the date range, warehouse, and whether work-order tasks generated cost records.
  • Labeling Cost supports Add Data, so adjustments should be tied to the correct customer and billing rule.
