RE: CST600 - BPCS 405CD

I believe some fields are reference fields in BPCS 405 CD
and you can find this out by finding the program where the field is updated
then F1 help for info about what the field is for
of course sometimes that SSA documentation has found to be flawed or misleading

Perhaps we not using the same field.
There is a number of operators found in the routings and number of people 
in the work center

We use the crew size in the routings in our labor ticket formula
how many to print
We want enough labor tickets so that for every shift, every factory worker, 
fills out labor ticket showing what got done on their watch
so our formula starts with how many standard hours to make the stuff
and applies an assumption of performance of 80% efficiency which I think 
may be rather high on small orders (in other words I think the efficiency 
percentage should be adjusted based on the size of the order and/or on the 
efficiency seeded into the work center through CAP reaction to reality)
then there is the issue of whether we are using crew sheets
a labor ticket plus crew sheet listing all the people who worked on that, 
like on an assembly wheel or line (there is the possibility that we will be 
moving from reporting by employee to reporting by team so as to reduce how 
much labor keying, even with the crew screen ... we are not using bar 
coding for labor input)
plus allow enough tickets if work starts one day and ends next
