Run & Setup Times in Activities Setup
under Work Center Setup

The Activities Drivers option may be used in conjunction with the Job Planning module, and will calculate the costs and durations based on parameters entered by the users in the planning module.Normally, the Run & Setup time option is used.  However, once the system has an active capacity planning module in place, the user may use Activities Drivers to schedule priorities in the Dynamic Scheduling Module.
