What Relieves Load?🤔

Does anyone know of any documentation that details what transactions relieve load? I’m looking at you @timshuwy !!

Before anyone says it, I’m not talking about the setting at the Company.

I started diving into load yesterday and have been trying to figure it out. I was logging into jobs and refreshing the load and it was not changing. :thinking: I thought that the load was relieved immediately upon logging out and could not figure it out. :confused: Then it hit me, I’m marked as Indirect, so what would happen with a Direct employee. I tried it out and the load was removed.

So, now I am wondering if there are any other gotchas with load. I’m going to test some, but I am sure I will miss some scenarios and wanted to see if there was anything official.

Edit: Still testing, but just proved the above is not true.

I was just looking at load stuff myself, for a BAQ. Not sure if its the right answer but im poking at:

SELECT * FROM Erp.ResourceTimeUsed;
SELECT * FROM Erp.ShopCap;

I know when I modify Production Calendar Hours, or Resource Calendars, like adding an exceptions they recalculate ShopCap.

Lastly, not sure if you need to run the Shop Load Process.

I’m all turned around right now, nothing I am doing is making sense. I just created a job with one Op and scheduled it. I’m going to play around with that. I have a BAQ that is filtered by day and resource so I can see what happens in real time. The load SHOULD be removed once I log out of an operation.

I believe you also must report a COMPLETED qty to release the load. if that is not happening, i would not understand it.

I know you are not talking about that setting, but it plays into how the ResourceTimeUsed table is relieved. For us we use quantity, so each piece claimed removes 1 piece of estimated time from ResourceTimeUsed regardless of how much actual time it took to accomplish that 1 piece.

Unless you were always dead on to estimated time I could not image using Hours. And I have no idea with Cost.

Thanks @gpayne , I am testing with hours. If you log in to an operation and DO NOT enter a quantity, then the load is relieved by how much time you were logged in for.

I guess I did not dig deep enough when I saw the load was not changing. Now that I am looking in the LaborDtl table, I can see some of my transactions went in at 0 hours. Ignore everything else I have said. No idea how it happened.

Yep, LaborDtl is a blast. I can see 0 when they are the same, but one would assume that 14.58 - 14.73 would produce hours. Whatever you do, do not ask Jose about clocking in and out at midnight. :frowning:

Don’t forget that Setup is considered load too! So, if you keep on logging into Production and the time does not reduce, it might be Setup time.
