Why:
GDS provides functionality to automatically add fixed meal breaks to mechanic time recording at the end of the day (XFNSH). The problem with this approach is that a fixed break is not applied if it overlaps a new time booking. In this case the fixed meal break is abandoned. When the order is then invoiced, booked hours are overstated because the fixed break is not applied. This has the effect of reducing charging efficiency, one of the key workshop controls provided by GDS.
A change has been introduced to give the option to create fixed breaks in ‘real-time’ with the goal of ensuring that booked hours are accurately recorded.
