Create / Edit Time Ticket in Shop Floor Control

System Location: Data Entry > Shop Floor Control > Time Tickets

This topic provides details on how to create a time ticket by entering information directly into the Shop Floor Control Area as opposed to using Data Collection. Entering a time ticket in this manner is often referred to as a "manual time ticket."

This topic focuses on creating a new time ticket; however the same concepts would be applied to editing an existing time ticket if needed.
