Setting up labor

Introduction

The labor module in Paragon is created to allow users to track the type of labor needed for production, as well as the time, and the cost associated to the specific labor.

Go to the labor module

First, from the Home Screen, click the more tab, and navigate to the labor module.


From the labor screen click the create new labor button at the top left hand corner.


Add more attributes and information

Here, you'll be redirected to an empty template to enter labor information. You'll notice it looks very similar to other reference screens in Paragon.


In this step, you can begin to enter the appropriate information pertaining to the labor required. 

1. Enter the labor code, and other necessary information.



2. Enter the labor attributes. Here, you can create different attributes pertaining to your labor.



 If the information you'd like to enter is not in this list either, you will need to add it to Paragon through reference screen setup.

3. You can also add attachments to the screen itself. 



4. When you are done entering all the relevant information, click the save button.


 Activate Labor

Once you're all done. Activate your labor by clicking the action button in the bottom right corner of the screen.


Add labor to your product module (BOM)

Once your labor is active and ready to use, you can add it to your Product BoM
