Illustration 26: (DBS Screen) The FLD Labor start and stop times and the TVL travel<br />
start and stop times are uploaded to the employees default approval group. In this<br />
example, TVL appears in the FLD approval group. The approver accesses this screen<br />
with their employee ID and approval group name. The approver enters 1 in the Opt field<br />
of each of the labor and travel records to approve the times. This example is from the<br />
DBS MNTWPAPPV screen for approvers.<br />
Labor Upload Using the Service Report and the Upload Utility - Explanation<br />
The technician may upload the start time and stop time labor hours from the STW<br />
electronic service report to the appropriate DBS work order and segment. Two possible<br />
processes are discussed within this document. The two processes to upload labor to<br />
DBS using the STW SIMS/DBS Upload Utility are the “end of job” labor upload and the<br />
“daily” labor upload.<br />
“End of Job” Labor Upload Using the SIMS/DBS Upload Utility<br />
An “End of Job” upload is the simplest method to upload parts causing failure, service<br />
meter units, repair comments and labor/travel start/stop times. Complete all of the<br />
necessary segments and required sections for each segment including labor. Upload all<br />
of this information when the repair is complete. Multiple days may be entered in the<br />
labor section. Open the SIMS/DBS upload utility and select the sections to upload in the<br />
upload settings window. Then process the report.<br />
“Daily” Labor Upload Using the SIMS/DBS Upload Utility<br />
Daily labor uploads require additional file management to prevent uploading duplicate<br />
information to DBS. A service report XML file that has been successfully uploaded<br />
through the STW upload utility is prevented from being uploaded again in order to<br />
prevent duplicate information within the DBS work order.<br />
To upload labor on a daily basis, a service report must be created for each days labor<br />
instead of each job. The user will fill out the service report and upload only the labor<br />
portion of the service report. Minimal information is required to upload labor information.<br />
A service report template can be created to streamline daily labor entries. Because a<br />
service report XML file can be uploaded only once, a new service report will need to be<br />
created for each days labor. A separate service report is created for the repair<br />
comments, parts causing failure and the service meter units. This information is<br />
uploaded separately at the end of the job.<br />
