Re: v61 Tasks Work employee product is units?

 

Hi Dale,


   The key point in openerp project module is "record time spend".  So the main reason to use this module should be(In My Personal Opinion):


   1- you need record the work time of your employee to pay for their real work time


   2- you need record the time your customer consumed to bill them for your real work time
 
   3- you need record the work time of your employee to know the progess of a project or spec task, or utilization for spec employee




   So, if you refuse to record task time, project module should not be the best solution for your needs.

Subject:  Re: [Openerp-community] v61 Tasks Work employee product is units?



I can't be certain it'll be 1/4 an hour units. A product unit duration might be anything, I'll have to keep the conversion formula for X minutes = 1 unit somewhere.


Does it seem unreasonable to you for me to inherit the task work entry view, enter the unit into a new field, calculate the Time Spent and save the unit field along with the old fields populated with my calculated results? 

Does this seem completely unreasonable?

     Thanks Eric, I appreciate your insight!       
       
       The user wants to enter 1 Yoga Class which everyone involved         knows is 30 minutes. Or 1 Kegel exercise class which is 15         minutes.
       
       
       I'd mentioned earlier
       
       
                Maybe             I could inherit the Task Work data entry form and let the             user enter 1 or             2 or 3 pieces worked on, then; convert this information to             the Time Spent required by Task Work. But, I'll have to             figure out what a single piece means to me time-wise. Like a             single 30 minute Yoga class would be entered as 1 Class             but would become 0:30 Time Spent or 2 classes would become 1 hour             worked (and billed.)         
         
         so my project entry would be what the user wants but the           retained project data would be what the system needs.
         
         
         Am I crazy?

                   You cannot convert PCE to hours if they are not in the                   same UoM category.
                   But you can say 1 day = 8 h in same category: OpenERP                   will take care of the conversion.

                                                         I'm sorry Cristian;                       I've tried several times to understand your two                       questions and I'm pretty sure I don't understand                       what you are asking.
                       
                       You said "Hello, so if its dont configured the                       worktime in project, hour is the UoM by default                       ?" I think you were asking "Is Work Task entry                       default UoM Hour?" I believe the answer is yes,                       especially since the relevant field is "Time                       Spent."                        
                       
                       You said "And is used to compute the task and                         project progress ?" I think you were asking "Is                         'Time Spent' used to compute task and project                         progress?" I believe the answer to that is yes,                         because; task and project progress seem to                         increase by 'Time Spent' amounts.
                       
                       
                       Please let me know if I've misunderstood your                         questions!
                       
                       
                       You raise a relevant point; how would the                         current Project entry work by only partially                         shifting to PCE, Piece or Unit entry. Shouldn't                         I also compute task and project progress? I                         think you are right, thanks for the insight! I                         should look through the entire Project to see                         how Piece instead of Time would be calculated.
                       
                       
                       And this raises another question. Where do I                         retain the calculation 1 Piece = XYZ hours? This                         sounds more like a manufacturing effect than                         project management.
                       
                       
                       I appreciate y'alls insights!
