FactoryLogix-XTD-LBR-01: Labor time transfer integration service

KB ARTICLE

Overview

The FactoryLogix-XTD-LBR-01 Labor Time Transfer Integration Service exports FactoryLogix WIP Start, WIP Pause, and WIP Finish events to a third-party system in an automated manner, in CSV format. The service periodically generates a CSV file containing WIP Start, WIP Pause, and WIP Finish events recorded in FactoryLogix since a specified date and time.


Note

This integration service depends on a second supporting integration service that imports and associates Employee IDs to FactoryLogix operator accounts. Both services must be deployed for the labor time export to function correctly.

Exported field descriptions

Field

Description

Manufacturing Order

The FactoryLogix Batch Name. This value must match—or be resolvable to—the Manufacturing/Work Order name in the receiving third-party system.

Route Point

The ERP Route Point Name value associated with the operation where the WIP event occurred. If no ERP Route Point Name is defined for the operation, the WIP event is excluded from the export.

Employee ID

Event Type

Start for a WIP Start event. Stop for a WIP Pause or WIP Finish event.
