When an employee registers in shop floor control, such as registering on a production order, a value is saved for each of the three standard dimensions: department, cost center, and purpose.

The dimension values are either taken from the Employeeor the selected Job. Which dimension values to be used can be configured in Shop Floor Control> Setup> Parameters .

Note
Dimensions can be defined for different types of jobs or activities (production, projects, and indirect activities). Dimensions can differentiate between different types of indirect activities (jobs, breaks, and absences). Dimensions can be combined. For example, if no dimension is given from the job, dimensions can be taken from the employee.
