How to set up a limits on labour hours/production quantity in Manufacturing?

Hi there,

We use Microsoft Dynamics 2015. We are a manufacturing business. I have two questions related to making a change to the value put in by users in two different areas.

  1. Under manufacturing>execution>tasks>output journal there is a “run time” field where labour hours are completed. We don’t want users to put in more than 15 hours at a time, sometimes users put in 100 by mistake instead of 10. Where can we change the field value to not accept values higher than 15 for example?
  2. Under the same section there is a production quantity. We want to make sure that the user cannot exceed 110% of the production quantity. How and where can we change this?

We are unsure how much development work is really needed or whether these changes can be made fairly quickly? Any input will help us a great deal. Thank you in advance.

just add restriction - it is 1-2 hours for work. But I can propose to you to do setup on Card first and then transfer it into journal

Hi, thank you. Is it possible for you to talk me through how to add a restriction? I went into Development Environment and tried to change the maximum value for run time to <15>, but it kept on giving me a decimal error message.

Users don’t use the cards to capture information as we use standard costing and the values therein are preset. The output journal is populated by the shop floor production with actual hours worked (run time) and actual units made (production quantity).
