The quick answer
Open Advanced Manufacturing > Planning Reports > Daily Plan, choose the work center in the Work Center filter and read the Total row. Ttl Mach Hrs on each row is Plan Qty divided by UPH, and setup time is not included.

Before you start
You need Advanced Manufacturing and a role that can run its reports. The report returns work order operations whose AM Planned Start falls in the date range, so it shows no rows when none match. The available filters and their defaults can differ by account and role. This example covers the week of 10/11/2026 to 10/17/2026 for a plant with four work centers.
01. Open the Daily Plan
Go to Advanced Manufacturing > Planning Reports > Daily Plan. The report opens on Work Center All and AM Planned Start this week. Seven operations start this week, and the Total row adds up 108.0 in Ttl Mach Hrs.
02. Check how machine hours are worked out
Find Gear Assembly on WO4418 in Gear Cell. Plan Qty is 20 and UPH is 10, so Ttl Mach Hrs is 20 divided by 10, or 2.0. Plan Setup (Min) is 10 and is not part of that figure. In this example the green rows are operations with Act Qty equal to Plan Qty and Remain Qty of 0.
03. Narrow the report to one work center
Open the Work Center filter and choose Gear Cell. Two operations remain, WO4418 and WO4431, and the Total row recalculates for them.
04. Read what drives the load
WO4431 is Gear Assembly for 900 units at 10 UPH. That is 90.0 hours, starting 10/16/2026 and ending 10/30/2026. With the 2.0 hours of WO4418, the Total row reads 92.0. In the unfiltered report the other work centers carried 8.0, 5.0 and 3.0 hours, so WO4431 is 90 of Gear Cell's 92 hours. The report counts the whole operation against the week it starts in; it does not show that all 90 hours are worked that week.
Check the result
- The Work Center filter shows Gear Cell and the page reads Total: 2.
- Each row's Ttl Mach Hrs equals its Plan Qty divided by its UPH.
- The Total row's Ttl Mach Hrs is the sum of the rows, 92.0.
Common questions
How is Ttl Mach Hrs calculated, and does it include setup time?
Ttl Mach Hrs is Plan Qty multiplied by Min/Unit and divided by 60, which is the same as Plan Qty divided by UPH. Setup time is shown separately in Plan Setup (Min) and is not included.
Why does a long work order show all its hours in one week?
The report picks operations by their AM Planned Start. An operation that starts inside the date range is counted with its full planned run hours, even if it ends after the range. The hours are not split across weeks.
Does the Daily Plan show a work center's capacity?
No. It shows planned load only. To tell whether a work center is overloaded, add up Ttl Mach Hrs for the work center and week and compare the total with the machine hours available in Advanced Manufacturing > Capacity Planning Reports. Compare like with like: the same location, week and work center, and remember that Ttl Mach Hrs leaves out setup.
What do the green rows mean?
In this example both green rows have an Act Qty equal to Plan Qty, a Remain Qty of 0 and a Remain Mach Hrs of 0, and the legend under the results reads Completed. Check your account's formatting before treating green as a universal completion flag.
Why does the Daily Plan show no rows?
No rows means no operation matches the filters, usually because no operation has an AM Planned Start in the date range. It does not mean the work orders or routings are missing. Widen AM Planned Start or reset the other filters.
Can I filter the Daily Plan by work order or status as well?
Yes. Work Order, Status and Location are filters in the same row as Work Center. Each one narrows the rows, and the Total row recalculates for what is left.
