Refer to documentation Implementation
The Setup time matrix function contains a home section in which you define an attribute classification, and a table in which you define exceptions between individual entities associated with the defined attribute classification.
Presentation
You use this section to create a setup time matrix for a specific attribute classification with the default times for setting up both different, and the same attribute value characteristics defined for the classification.
For example, your company manufactures bicycles. A common attribute is color. You can define the time it takes to set up work centers to paint the bicycle frames when the paint color is changed, or a work center is cleaned and the same color used.

Fields
The following fields are present on this tab :
Block number 1
| Use this field to identify this attribute classification setup time matrix. |
| Use this field to identify this setup time matrix. |
| Use this field to identify a standard classification, or characteristic of a product that can be referenced by your web scheduling processes. For example, if a product is painted during your manufacturing process, an attribute classification might be "PAINT" or "COLOR". |
| This field identifies the standard characteristic that you have classified as a product attribute. |
Default setup times
| Use this field to define the default setup time between individual characteristics, or attribute values of the defined attribute classification. The value can be zero. For example, a work center is used for multiple products with the same attribute classification such as paint. Cleaning the work center to change from one paint color to a different color takes the same length of time for every change of color. You use this field to define the setup time for every color change, or different attribute value. |
| Use this field to define the default setup time between matching characteristics, or attribute values of the defined attribute classification. The value can be zero. For example, a work center is used for multiple products with the same attribute classification such as paint. Cleaning the work center before replacing the same color into the spray system takes the same length of time for every color match. You use this field to define the setup time for every matching color, or matching attribute value. |
| This field displays the value Hours. This is the unit of time used in work order operations, and in which these default setup times are measured. |

Presentation
Use this section to create a table of exceptions for the defined attribute classification. You only use this section if the from/to attribute values are different from the default setup times defined in the home section.

Fields
The following fields are present on this tab :
| Use this field to identify an individual characteristic of this attribute classification. For example, if your company manufactures bicycles and the attribute classification is COLOR, this field value is a color that might be sprayed on a bicycle frame. |
| This field identifies the individual characteristic that you have defined in this attribute classification. |
| Use this field to identify an individual characteristic of this attribute classification. For example, if your company manufactures bicycles and the attribute classification is COLOR, this field value is a color that might be sprayed on a bicycle frame. |
| This field identifies the individual characteristic that you have defined in this attribute classification. |
| Use this field to specify the actual time it takes to prepare a work center when changing from a product with the attribute characteristic assigned in the From attribute value field (FROATTVAL) to a product with the attribute characteristic assigned in the Toattribute value field (TOATTVAL). This time forms part of the work center load. It is expressed in the time unit specified in the Time unit field (TIMUOMCOD). |
| This field displays the value Hours. This is the unit of time used in work order operations, and in which these setup time exceptions are measured. |
