NCR Update Cost Field

Overview

The NCR Update Cost Field screen allows authorized users to view, filter, and update labor hours and repair costs across Production and Field Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs). Rather than navigating to each NCR individually, users can manage hours and cost data for multiple records from a single, scrollable list — with every change tracked in an audit log.

Accessing the Screen

Navigate to Quality Control > NCR Update Cost Field from the main menu.

Updating Production Hours and Cost

Each Production NCR in the list displays two rows (Figure 2):

• Row 1 — Identifying information: NCR number, date, status, status date, plant, job number, PM/Engineer/Detailer, piece mark, control number, serial number, cast date, pour, bed position, load number, delivery date, and QC items/problems.
• Row 2 — Editable fields: E&D Hours, Plant Hours, Field Hours, Cause, Cause Description, and Cost.

To update a record:

1. Locate the NCR in the list.
2. Click into the ED Hours, Plant Hours, Field Hours, or Cost field in the second row.
3. Enter the updated value and click out of the field (blur).
4. The Save and Save & Close buttons will activate if any value has changed.
5. Click Save to save and remain on the screen, or Save & Close to save and return to the main menu.

Note: The Save buttons remain disabled until at least one field value has been changed from its original value. If you revert a change back to the original, the buttons will disable again.

Updating Field Hours and Cost

• Row — Identifying information: NCR number, date, status, status date, plant, job number, PM/Engineer/Detailer, items/problems, cause, description, cost, E&D Hours, Plant hours, Field hours.

To update a record:

1. Locate the NCR in the list.
2. Click into the ED Hours, Plant Hours, Field Hours, or Cost field in the second row.
3. Enter the updated value and click out of the field (blur).
4. The Save and Save & Close buttons will activate if any value has changed.

Printing an NCR Report

Click the Printer icon in the Actions column of any row to open the NCR report for that record in a new tab (Red box, Figure 2).

Audit Logging

Every change to hours or cost fields is recorded automatically. When a save is performed, the system logs the following for each changed field:

• NCR ID
• Field name (e.g., "ED Hours", "Plant Hours")
• Old value
• New value
• Date and time of the change (UTC)
• Name of the user who made the change

A system note ("NCR hours and cost updated") is also posted to the NCR's note history (Figure 5).
